Porky Pig #44
In "Broom to Carry Packages," Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny find themselves tangled in a wild mix-up after mistaking a Rocket Research Society test launch for a rustler gang. Stowing away on the rocket, they crash-land in the Sahara Desert, where a bandit chief quickly decides they’re not from around here—thanks to their outlandish arrival and strange ways. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Fred Abranz, this 1956 Dell comic delivers classic Looney Tunes chaos with a sci-fi twist, all captured in a cover by Abranz that perfectly sets the tone.
