Looney Tunes #188

This 1957 Dell issue captures the eternal rivalry in fine form — Bugs Bunny grins smugly as he helps himself to a cartful of freshly pulled carrots, while a fuming Elmer Fudd peers over a wooden fence, clearly outwitted once again. Ralph Heimdahl's cover work brings real charm to the scene, with the overflowing shopping cart and carrot-dotted garden giving everything a wonderfully wholesome, slapstick energy. At just a dime, Looney Tunes #188 is a warm snapshot of mid-century funny-animal comics at their most cheerful.
