Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #162

A delightful slice of 1955 Dell humor, this issue's cover sets up a perfect cartoon standoff: Bugs Bunny stands smugly in a gap in a red wooden fence, holding a long fishing line that trails to a wallet and a carrot — bait for whoever might be foolish enough to take it. Peering around the other side of the fence is a scowling Elmer Fudd, already holding his end of the string and looking like he's walked right into Bugs' trap. For a dime, this Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics entry captures everything lovable about the era's animated mischief in bright, cheerful Dell style.
