In "The Last of the Big Spongers," Bugs’ Great-Uncle Bertram, now elderly and uninterested in carrots, pens a revealing memoir exposing long-held secrets of the carrot-stealing underground. When Elmer Fudd discovers the book and starts using its insider knowledge to outwit Bugs, the rabbit must track down his reclusive relative to set things right. Written by Carl Fallberg and illustrated by Fred Abranz, with a cover by Tony Strobl and John Liggera, this 1968 Western Publishing gem delivers classic Looney Tunes mischief with a side of family legacy.

In a quiet corner of the woods, Bugs’ Great-Uncle Bertram—once a notorious carrot thief—has traded his thievery for a typewriter, penning a scandalous memoir that spills every secret of the underground carrot trade. When Elmer Fudd stumbles upon the book and starts using its secrets to catch rabbits, Bugs must track down his eccentric relative to stop the damage before rabbit-kind is truly in trouble.
