** That line was actually the subject of controversy in Canada (yes, Canada. Guess America is either too stupid to know what misogyny is, outside of a rap video on BET or they didn't take the line seriously the way Canada did) for being misogynistic. The case in Canada was dropped after a few days. Here's the article on the subject: http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/b/cen-witch.html

* ''The Gruesome Twosome'' are a pair of alley cats, one a Jimmy Durante-like guy, the other a mostly silent deadpan, both after Tweety. At one point they're disguised in a two-man horse costume. The Durante cat pulls off his headpiece and tells us "I'm the horse's head!" Which of course makes the other guy...

* One wonders how they got this one past: In the 90's short CarrotBlanca near the end Bugs has locked Yosemite Sam in prison sitting next to him is a big dopey prisoner who smiles at him in a lustful effeminate manner, Sam then screams to be let out.

* In a Pepe Le Pew cartoon, he takes a gun, places it on his temple, and walks off screen. Seconds later, a gunshot is heard. The cat (who had white shoe polish on its back, leading Pepe Le Pew to believe that it was a skunk) opens the window and expects to see his body, but really falls into his arms.
