Bugs Bunny - the Archetypal Trickster
www.cruxcatalyst.com/blog/bugs-bunny-archetypes-and-the-art-of-war-for-change
"…clever and capable of outsmarting anyone who antagonizes him…Bugs almost always wins these conflicts, a plot pattern which recurs in Looney Tunes films. Bugs Bunny has some similarities to figures from mythology and folklore, such as Br’er Rabbit, and might be seen as a modern trickster. Unlike most cartoon characters, however, Bugs Bunny is rarely defeated in his own games of trickery"
