Looney Tunes #220

This February 1960 Dell issue puts Bugs Bunny front and center at the bowling alley, grinning with characteristic confidence while Elmer Fudd lurks behind him with a look that suggests he's plotting something — all rendered in Ralph Heimdahl's clean, expressive linework. The bright green backdrop and vivid bowling equipment give the cover a cheerful, playful energy that's hard to resist. At a dime a copy, this was exactly the kind of lighthearted fun that made Dell's Looney Tunes a staple of the early 1960s newsstand.
