Looney Tunes #133

A gushing oil well erupts from the desert floor on this 2006 DC entry in the long-running Looney Tunes series, sending Yosemite Sam and a scheming wildcat rival tumbling skyward in a furious battle over who owns the strike — Sam hollering "You varmint! This oil well is MINE!" while his opponent gleefully counters that the land belongs to him. The cover art by David Álvarez and inker Mike DeCarlo captures all the chaotic slapstick energy you'd expect, with a ramshackle wooden shack, scattered tools, and scrubby desert cacti completing the scene. With a story titled "Prospects Don't Look Good," this issue promises the kind of cartoon-logic conflict that makes Looney Tunes comics such a consistently entertaining read.
