Looney Tunes #97

A snowy rooftop setting gives this 2003 holiday issue of DC's Looney Tunes its cheerful, chaotic charm — cover pencils by David Álvarez and inks by Mike DeCarlo show the Tasmanian Devil wedged stubbornly in a chimney, Santa hat askew, while a reindeer-antlered bear grins and declares "D-UH-- I HELPED SANTA!" and a bundled-up female bear looks on skeptically with a candy cane in hand. The title story, "Wreck the Halls," promises exactly the kind of seasonal mayhem you'd expect when Taz gets anywhere near a chimney. A genuinely fun pick for fans of the series or anyone who enjoys their holiday stories with a generous helping of Looney Tunes absurdity.
