In "Whisker Power," retired pirate Sam puts his past to work hauling "Atomic Brand Cat Food" while Bugs Bunny rides along for the ride. When Bugs stumbles upon Sam’s old pirate flags and raises them just for fun—especially the Jolly Roger—the Maharajah of Richypan takes the signal seriously, surrendering his jewels in fear of a weapon. But the real trouble’s just getting started, as the Maharajah’s yacht soon encounters a pair of actual jewel thieves. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Tony Strobl, with inks by John Liggera and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1983 adventure features a cover by Pete Alvarado and Bill Wright.
