Looney Tunes #169

A gusher of desert comedy erupts in Looney Tunes #169, as Yosemite Sam and a scraggly prospector go head-to-head — quite literally — atop a thundering oil geyser, each hollering their claim to the land below. David Álvarez and Mike DeCarlo's cover sets the scene perfectly: a ramshackle desert claim, a pickaxe still stuck in the ground, and two furious figures riding a jet of black gold straight into the sky. With the story "Prospects Don't Look Good" waiting inside, this 2009 issue promises the kind of slapstick territorial squabbling that makes Looney Tunes so reliably fun.
