Daffy #10

Daffy Duck is living his best desert life on this 1957 Dell cover, lounging coolly in the shade of a cactus beneath an enormous sombrero while a sweaty, thoroughly miserable Elmer Fudd wilts beside him under the blazing sun. Phil De Lara's cheerful linework captures the pair's familiar dynamic perfectly — Daffy smug and comfortable, Elmer anything but. At just a dime, this summer quarterly delivers that effortless Looney Tunes charm in a neatly packaged package.
