Bugs Bunny #61

That self-satisfied grin says it all — on this June-July 1958 Dell cover by Tony Strobl, Bugs Bunny sits perched on a log with a fishing rod in hand, using a bright orange carrot as bait dangling just above the water's edge. It's a perfectly charming snapshot of the wiseacre rabbit at his most relaxed and clever, blending his signature smirk with a lazy summer afternoon setup. Inside, writer Don R. Christensen and artist Fred Abranz take Bugs on an adventure with "The High-Flying Sheriff," making this a fine pick for fans of the era's all-ages comic fun.
