Is Bugs bunny the greatest Fictional Drag Icon?

[Woozies]

Thread title is the question.

Oh and to preempt it, you Daffy Duck fans need to sit all the way down, cause you know you're wrong.

You make a compelling argument with lots of evidence of pictures, videos, commentary and other information

OP you do realize that Era doesn't have the same character limit as Twitter, right?

I do, but I'm posing a question not an argument for.

I was trying to answer this myself and came across this origin of Pinky and the Brain that blew my damn mind:

The cartoon's heavy use of gender-swapped attire seems to fall in line with the show's little-known queer origins. Speaking on the gay men's culture podcast The Sewers of Paris in 2016, drag performer Mark Finley revealed how his friendship with Pinky and the Brain's director and producer Rusty Mills permeated the show:

Rusty... spent a lot of time down by the pool and... never got tan. He just got pink, and [so] I called him "Pinky." And he called me "Brain" because I wore these... big black government-issued glasses. He [would joke that] gays were going to take over the world, and so when I would see him he'd say, "What are you up to today, Brain?" And I'd say, "Same thing I'm up to every day: trying to take over the world."

it really depends on if we count drag personas as fictional characters or not

This is an absolutely fair criticism of all cartoons originating from that time period.

That is a meta-narrative I do not want to entertain cause that feels like a real bad slippery slope in the best of cases.
