Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #48

This October 1945 Dell offering captures Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig in a wonderfully chaotic motorboat scene — Bugs looks thoroughly drenched and wide-eyed while Porky, bow-tied and flustered, clutches what appears to be a sandwich as the little vessel skims across choppy water. Cover art by Dan Gormley brings a lively, kinetic energy to the duo's aquatic misadventure, with a filmstrip banner framing the title in that cheerful style the series does so well. A delightful snapshot of Warner Bros.' most beloved cartoon characters in their golden Dell Comics era.
