A rabbit confounding a hunter is universal. A rabbit confounding an opera singer is contextually dependent. Hard to sell Looney Tunes around the world.
A cat hates a mouse is universal. A cat hates a mouse while trying to get laid while dressed like a cowboy is also universal. Very easy sell.

As reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer of October 8, 1893, Harry Wright suggested that umpires keep the ball-strike count secret until the at bat was concluded. The ostensible aim: to increase hitting and reduce growling. Edward Gorey illustrated the idea for Sports Illustrated on July 19, 1893.
