Boys' and Girls' March of Comics #83

In "The Gypsy King," Bugs Bunny stumbles into a Gypsy encampment during a desperate escape from Daffy Duck, inadvertently becoming the chosen king during their ceremonial selection. With rival Gypsies Zaco and Tanno furious over the turn of events and Daffy eager to claim royal status for himself, Bugs must navigate a tradition that demands the king’s ears be pierced for the Golden Earrings—something he’s determined to avoid. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated with energetic flair by John Carey (pencils, inks, and lettering), this 1952 Western Publishing gem features a delightfully chaotic mix of slapstick and folklore, all rendered in the signature style of the era. The cover, also by Carey, captures the absurd spectacle with bold, expressive lines.
