@runar: Ouch! That hurts worse than the blow to Winky’s spleen! :))
Too bad Bugs Bunny isn’t your life coach, Winky. With his “stragety” (sic) he managed to beat The Crusher, a Mexican bull, a very tall orange-haired monster, Marvin the Martian… the list goes on and on…
Right. Gossamer. I ought to kick myself for not remembering that. I wonder what happened to the excellent plastic Gossamer action ficture I bought somewhere.
As for fighting styles, an old Navy friend used to quip, “When someone yells ‘Karate!”, I yell ‘Chair!””
In the first cartoon in which the orange-haired monster appeared, 1952’s Water, Water Every Hare, the Mad Scientist addressed the monster as “Ruda” or “Gruda” (some interpret it as “Rudolph”).
Bottom line: always have a backup plan, like fighting dirty. Winky should have gone for that bounder’s spleen first. He should have learned that from Dr Mel.
@runar: Gossamer is what the cartoonist Chuck Jones (apparently much later) called the monster, which is not what the Mad Scientist in the second film called him (Rudolph, according to the page you give us). Here’s the story as to why the difference exists:
Skill and strength? Considering the eyes on that alien, Winky probably has enough for the job. He should be thinking less Marcus of Queensbury and more Krav Maga.
Failing that, he should be hitting the alien with his spleen. It may hurt, but that thing is essentially indestructible.

Another day, another spleen. Punctuated with arcane pugilistic challenges.

This is why hit men exist. My hitman is named Walter. He goes by the name of Walt W. Hitman.

Winky’s spleen must be a rechargeable.

The name of the orange haired monster is Gossimere. Spelling is suspect.
Then there’s Sam, Elmer and many others.

Yet more proof that “Queensbury rules” boxing cannot compete with “cartoon-rules” kung fu.

@cdward - nah, Winky’s a member of Spleen-of-the-Month club.

The thing about Bugs is that he was trying to mind his own business. He was not looking for trouble….

If Toada was truly wise, he would have gotten Winky to pay for his advice before the fight started.

In a fight you have to remember that skill and strength count for something.
Bugs Bunny is a cartoon character. Of course, so is Winky!

I liked “Rudolph” much better (although I played the cartoon again, and it really sounds like the mad scientist calls it “Ruda” or even “Gruda”).
