Four Color #558

Daffy Duck has somehow wedged himself into Elmer Fudd's mailbox — envelope in beak and looking thoroughly pleased with himself — while a startled Elmer reacts with wide-eyed alarm in his signature red jacket and green hat. Dell's 1954 ten-cent offering captures the freewheeling cartoon chemistry between these two Looney Tunes favorites in Phil De Lara's bright, expressive linework. If the cover's cheerful chaos is any indication, the "Worthless Watchdog" story inside promises plenty of that same good-natured mischief.
