Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies #109

The cover of this November 1950 Dell issue sets up a wonderfully absurd scene: Bugs Bunny, strapped into a turtle shell and lashed to the starting line, faces a row of real turtles lined up for a "Turtle Race Today," while Porky Pig stands atop Bugs's shell firing the starting pistol. Dan Gormley's cover art plays the classic tortoise-and-hare gag with cheerful, sharp linework that captures the spirit of the Looney Tunes gang perfectly. A delightful ten-cent slice of 1950s cartoon humor from Dell.
