In "Bully vs. Kangaroo," Bugs Bunny ventures into the unlikely world of book lending, only to stumble upon a book on hypnotism that sets off a series of hilarious mind games. With a wink and a nudge, he uses the book to convince Sylvester he’s a millionaire—and then, with equal flair, tricks himself into the same delusion. Roger Armstrong’s expressive artwork brings the absurdity to life, while Ralph Heimdahl’s cover captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines. A 10-cent gem from 1950, this Four Color issue is a delightfully silly showcase of classic cartoon logic.

In "Make-Believe Millyunaires," Bugs sets up a lending library and, inspired by a book on hypnotism, tricks Sylvester into believing he's a millionaire—then does the same to himself using a mirror. The gag unfolds with playful absurdity as both characters fully embrace their imagined fortunes.
