This article is about the character. I certainly rolled my eyes when Cookie Monster practically had to start apologizing for his sugar addiction.

And I don't have problems with other Looney Tunes characters. I wasn't inspired to make fun of kids who lisped or stuttered because of Daffy Duck or Porky Pig. Bugs Bunny's dressing in drag to fool his hunter nemesis Elmer Fudd, while certainly not a feminist statement, lampooned the idea that men are suckers for pretty women.

Pepe, playing a bartender, starts hitting on a woman at the bar played by Santo. He begins kissing her arm, which she pulls back, then slamming Pepe into the chair next to hers.
