Por que o crossdressing é tão comum nos Looney Tunes e nos WB Cartoons relacionados?

8

Voltando ao início dos cartoons da Warner Bros, eu sempre vi Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck e outros personagens como Elmer e Taz se travando para várias partes. Por que esse tema tão recorrente para os desenhos animados da Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies / etc? Nenhuma outra série de desenhos animados tem isso, como sempre.

Por essa Entrevista KLOS com Chuck Jones , as pessoas que fizeram Bugs Bunny (e outros desenhos animados da WB) simplesmente pensaram que colocar seus personagens principais em roupas femininas era sobre a coisa mais engraçada que você poderia fazer com eles. O público, na maioria das vezes, concordou e, assim, os bugs tiveram que "arrastá-lo" pelo menos uma vez a cada poucos desenhos animados.

M&B: ...I always wondered whose idea was it to put Bugs in drag the very first time? And did you have any negative connotations from whatever organization?

Chuck Jones: Well, at that time, which was before you guys were even born — it may be difficult for you to imagine a time when you weren't born. And I'm sure the public would agree that it's far better that you're here. But —

M&B: Depending on the day, Chuck.

Chuck Jones: The thing was at that time, if a man dressed up like a woman, there was no transvestite. Nobody even knew the term.

M&B: It was just funny.

Chuck Jones: It was just funny. The man would put on a woman's hat, and they would think that was funny. They wouldn't think that the man was turning into something "inappropriate."

M&B: Little did they know he really liked it.

Chuck Jones: Yeah, he did. We found that out as we went along.
