Although I'm gonna call this a "typical" Bugs Bunny story, that is actually a compliment and not a complaint. For me, the cartoon juggernaut of Looney Tunes is the GOLD standard. What's higher... Platinum? Then it's the PLATINUM standard. It was among the first and arguably the best at character development, use of humor fitting for kids as well as adults, and culture impacting. You can probably tell that I LOVE LOONEY TUNES!!!
