Looney Tunes #215

Bugs Bunny takes on the role of artist here, palette in hand, carefully painting face and body designs on a willing Elmer Fudd decked out in Native American costume and perched on an easel — a wonderfully absurd scene that captures the duo's playful dynamic perfectly. Tony Strobl's cover art for this September 1959 Dell issue is bright and cheerful, bathed in sunny yellow and full of the gentle silliness that made this series such a delight. At just a dime, Looney Tunes #215 is a charming snapshot of the era's all-ages comic craft.
