☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Whisker Power," Bugs Bunny finds himself trapped by the mad inventor Dr. Zonker, who plans to harness the rabbit’s whiskers as power filaments. When Bugs accidentally activates the lab’s equipment, his whiskers spark with energy, turning him into a super-powered rabbit—just in time for the scheming Bin Brothers to see their chance at a big score.
When Elmer Fudd takes a vacation, Bugs Bunny convinces Porky Pig to take his place as a temporary hunter—just for fun. But when Bugs returns to his usual tricks, he discovers Porky’s unexpected skill at the game makes him a far more entertaining opponent than the usual Fudd ever was.
In "A Flood of Fun," Elmer’s new well drains into a depression near Bugs’ rabbit hole, creating a surprise pond that Daffy immediately claims as his own. With Daffy dreaming up schemes to annoy Fudd from their new shared digs, Bugs is ready to kick him out—just as the pond starts leaking, then flooding, straight into the rabbit hole.
In "The Secret Weapon," retired pirate Sam docks his cargo ship with a crate of "Atomic Brand Cat Food" while Bugs Bunny rides along for the ride. Boredom strikes until Bugs stumbles upon a trunk of Sam’s old pirate flags and hilariously flies them all—sparking a panic when the Jolly Roger draws the attention of the Maharajah of Richypan, who mistakes the crate for a weapon and surrenders his jewels before fleeing.
