Looney Tunes (DC) #29, May 1997: "Stupider Dozen"





This 1997 Bugs Bunny/Wile E. Coyote story, written by Terry Collins, is a clever take on Chuck Jones' cartoons starring Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote (super genius!) Wile E. wakes Bugs up in the middle of the night to borrow a screwdriver...and, as it turns out, the coyote's latest plan to catch the Road Runner involves cloning.

  1. Another classic 95% of the way through—although I'm not quite sure why Road Runner is carrying (or picking up?) a box as he approaches Wile E.'s cave on the final page. Am I missing something?

    1. Perhaps he's the delivery boy who brings Wile E. the items he orders from ACME. That's singularly bizarre-- it's like providing the rope for your own hanging.

  2. I think he's delivering a box of Roadrunner clones. Cartoon logic explains how they all fit in there, though!
