Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies #148

There's a delightful role reversal on this February 1954 Dell cover, where a grinning Bugs Bunny — dressed in a yellow barber's jacket and blue gloves — has Elmer Fudd settled into a barber's chair, cape draped around him, getting a vigorous hair treatment courtesy of that rascally rabbit. A tiny gun discarded on the floor hints that Elmer's hunting ambitions have once again been sidelined, this time in favor of an unwanted makeover. With 52 pages of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies fun inside and charming cover art by Ralph Heimdahl, this is a cheerful slice of 1954 Dell comics at its most playful.
