Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #27

Ringing in 1944 in style, this January Dell issue features a jubilant Porky Pig front and center, sash emblazoned with "1944" as he swings a noisemaker overhead to welcome the new year — while a grinning Bugs Bunny pops up right beside him to join the celebration. Confetti fills the bright blue sky, and familiar Looney Tunes faces — including Elmer Fudd and Pepe Le Pew — peek in from the borders, making the whole cover feel like a festive cartoon party. A cheerful snapshot of wartime entertainment at its most lighthearted, signed under the Leon Schlesinger banner.
