There's also a little game at the end with great artwork of the characters, including Miss Prissy, whom I've never seen in a Dell story.
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.

"Bugs Bunny's Vacation Funnies" (Dell)# 5, 1955: Henery Hawk and Foghorn Leghorn: "Hero For A Day"
In answer to a question about the last Foghorn Leghorn story I posted, the earliest appearance of Foghorn in the Dell comics is this one from "Bugs Bunny's Vacation Funnies" # 5, 1955. This is definitely the true Foggy and not Senator Leghorn. In the story, Foghorn wrongly suspects Henery Hawk of chasing hens, when Henery is only getting groceries for his mother. Much as he did in the cartoons, Foghorn's role in the Dell comics was to protect a chickenhouse from predators. as you can see, he was a little less tolerant of Henery's hijinks than he was in cartoons.
