Welcome to Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics. On this blog, we'll be taking a look at the overlooked side career of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters. Though beloved and celebrated on theater and TV screens for generations of fans, Bugs Bunny and his cartoon cohorts have also had an equally lengthy career in print.

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.

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