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 and Merrie Melodies"(Dell) # 99, January 1950: ""Bugs in Toyland"
In this strange Christmas tale from 1950, Bugs Bunny buys a carrot as a gift for his girlfriend Lula Belle, but when he sees her buying an expensive watch, he assumes it's for him and decides he needs to come up with a better present. He stumbles upon two scientists who need a test subject for their rocket launch to the moon. Their offer to pay entices Bugs to agree, but the rocket doesn't make it to the moon. Instead, it crashes at the North Pole, where the rabbit discovers Santa Claus in a bit of a conundrum. It gets weirder from there.

As I supposed, human-faced Lula Belle Bunny looks kinda creepy... :)

ReplyDeleteAges ago, when I used far too many colors in my Blog posts, I wrote in detail about it – but had no way of scanning it into the post.
I’ve linked to this post in an update – and offer my post to you in return.

Comics have a different kind of value in a kid’s life. It’s important that a child reads comics. This way he/she will be entertained and will also be helpful in building up their speech and language. It was wonderful finding this post. I shall find some for my kids and hoping that Andy Yeatman comes up with comics as well because his content is very good.
