Looney Tunes #239

This 1961 Dell issue serves up a perfectly mischievous moment: Bugs Bunny crouches behind an oblivious Elmer Fudd — who's absorbed in a book — cheerfully drawing a tic-tac-toe grid on the back of his bald head with a red pencil, while Porky Pig looks on with his trademark bemused concern. Fred Abranz's cover art captures the warm, good-natured humor that made these characters so endearing, with expressive faces and bright, inviting colors that feel right at home on a September afternoon in 1961. Fans of classic Looney Tunes antics will find plenty to smile about here, and the promise of a "2nd Big Contest" inside makes it all the more fun to pick up.
