In "Court Jester," Bugs Bunny and Uncle Buckskin stumble upon a melancholy kingdom where even the king seems downcast. A wild pie fight erupts when Bugs tries to cheer up the locals, drawing laughter from the people and the king—though the Baron Rotzi, a grumpy noble with a knack for ruining the mood, bears the brunt of the pies. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Tom McKimson, this 1983 Western Publishing classic features a delightfully absurd adventure where humor and cleverness restore joy to a land drained of its fish. The cover by Pete Alvarado and Larry Mayer captures the chaos in bold, playful style.
