Sandler, Kevin S.  Reading the Rabbit:
   Explorations in Warner Bros. Animation.
   New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers UP, 1998.

See esp. Kirsten Moana Thompson's "Ah Love! Zee Grand
Illusion! Pepé Le Pew, Narcissism and Cats in the
Casbah" (pp. 137-54) and Kevin S. Sandler, "Gendered
Evasion: Bugs Bunny in Drag" (154-71).  The latter

rectify ...
