Inspired by this thread, let’s recast with Warner Brothers cartoon characters.
Rules:

  1. Please stick to the traditional WB characters from the 40s thru the 60s (Bugs, Daffy, and co). No Animanics or Tiny Toons please
  2. Cross dressing not only allowed, but encouraged, since so many of the characters seemed to enjoy it anyway)
  3. There is no rule 3

based on your quote, did you mean Tweety Bird?

So, um, what posters would Garifuddi have on his walls?

“I have been contemplating this image… Is it one of his household gods?”

10

with WKRP on the brain - how’s this?

Andy - Bugs
Mr C - Elmer
Jennifer - Bugs, in a dual role, in drag
Herb - Sylvester
Les - Marvin
Johnny - Daffy
Venus - Spike
Bailey - the black cat

11

Forgot some major characters. Add:

Marcus - Speedy Gonzales
Zack - Wile E. Coyote
Bester - the Peter Lorre caricature mad doctor
Morden - Rocky (the gangster with the big hat)
Lyta - Petunia Pig
Na’toth - Miss Prissy (the spinster hen)
Talia - Witch Hazel

12

Yeah, when I assigned Daffy to G’kar, I almost added “Sorry, Garibaldi.” The poster, of course, would be of Jerry Doyle.

13

As mentioned many times before, I’d like to see the 1960s cult TV series The Prisoner done with Bugs Bunny as #6 and Elmer Fudd as #2 (“heyyyyy … This isn’t Albuquoique! Where am I, anyway?” “In the Viwwage, Wabbit!”)

You could have Yosemite Sam come in occasionally as one of the “guest” #2’s. Daffy Duck can be #43, the one who keeps getting zapped when he forgets his Electrpass, or gets gobsmacked by Rover, the guardian weather balloon. The Warner Bothers cartoon villains can be the spy statues and Village operatives. I like the idea of Gossamer/Rudolph (the hairy orange monster in tennis shoes) crammed into a suit of armor, as in the old Chuck Jones cartoon, and trying to look inconspicuous as he listens in on Bugs and Daffy.

14

I’d pay money to see this.

I read this thread title as, “Let’s recast with insects and people you know in real life.” I opened to find out what you wanted to recast, and why we should be interested that your pal Stu is just like Doctor McCoy.

Actually, since Daffy is now G’Kar, I’d like to nominate, as a rather convoluted and vague meta-reference, that Garibaldi would have Commander Tomalak’s picture on his wall.

Also, since I can more easily picture him in a trench coat and a fedora, I figured Daffy would be Garibaldi, but Elmer as our favorite paranoid Italian works too :smiley:
