Bugs Bunny #47

Bugs Bunny finds himself in a truly relatable predicament on this 1956 Dell cover, perched on the edge of a bathroom sink and wrestling with a plunger — expression drooping with the weary look of someone who did not plan to spend his afternoon on plumbing duty. Tony Strobl's cover pencils capture the wascally rabbit's deadpan charm perfectly, turning a clogged drain into a surprisingly sympathetic domestic comedy. With Carl Fallberg writing and Tony Strobl and John Liggera handling the interior art, issue #47 promises the kind of warm, funny storytelling that made Dell's Bugs Bunny run so consistently enjoyable.
