In "Hawaii or Bust… by Car?", Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd embark on a wildly impractical cross-ocean road trip, hitching a wooden raft to Elmer’s car in a bid to reach Hawaii by land and sea. With a crow’s nest, a paddle-powered hull, and their usual mix of smarts and slapstick, the duo faces off against nature, bad plans, and each other in this classic 1957 Looney Tunes adventure. Written by Michael Maltese and illustrated by Phil De Lara, with a vibrant cover by Tony Strobl, this 10-cent classic captures the absurdity and charm of the golden age of animation.

In "The Grand Sand Castle Coup," Mary Jane and Sniffles shrink down to explore her elaborate sand castle, only to stumble into a secret rebellion brewing inside—where the captain of her tiny model ship is held captive by pirates who’ve taken over the royal sand throne. With the stakes as high as a castle tower built from wet sand, the duo must navigate treacherous tides and traitorous tides before the tide turns on them.
