Mississippi Hare is a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.

Assuming the guise of a distinguished gentleman to evade scrutiny, Bugs encounters Colonel Shuffle, a volatile riverboat gambler resembling Yosemite Sam.

Engaging in a high-stakes poker game, Bugs outwits Shuffle, who subsequently challenges him to a duel.

Through a series of comedic misadventures, including a flirtatious dance and a failed attempt at retribution, Shuffle is repeatedly thwarted by Bugs.

Despite momentarily assuming a Southern belle persona to evade Shuffle's advances, Bugs ultimately emerges unscathed, jesting at the comedic potential of a romantic denouement.
