Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #10

A patriotic summer parade sets the tone for this 1942 Dell issue, with Porky Pig front and center in an oversized red bandleader's hat and a star-spangled uniform, proudly carrying the American flag while Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd march cheerfully behind him. The festive cover — signed by Leon Schlesinger and brought to life by Emma McKean — captures the warm, lighthearted spirit that made Looney Tunes such a beloved wartime comfort. At just ten cents, this August 1942 installment also promises a "Private Detectives" story to keep the fun rolling inside.
