Bugs Bunny in -
"The Whitest White Christmas"

This story starring Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and others manages to capture the very essence of this glorious season while poking gentle fun at its accesses; a quiet, impressive accomplishment which calls for some fine story-telling chops. The story and art is unaccredited, which is shameful. The artists involved here left a holiday gem as part of their anonymous legacy.

This is from Dell Giant Bugs Bunny’s Christmas Funnies No. 7, December 1956. All scans from my own comic.

Yay, Bugs Bunny! I almost can't watch it any more though, after Family Guy's spoof on it. Or "cut out scene", or what it was supposed to be. When the hunter shoots Bugs Bunny and snaps his neck, and then drags him on the ground behind him. It's funny, but reeaally sick! Gives me nightmares.
I think it was Family Guy, any way...

I read this one this morning, but didn't take the time to post a comment.

Basically because I knew that I would be back later this evening to read it all over again.

Great stuff!

Love those painted covers! Another great post Mykal!

Mykal said...

Karwell: Likewise! That cover I particularily liked, and because of the magnificent color choices made by the artist, the effect when posted was very pleasing. After I scanned it and posted it up, I went "wow!" -- Mykal
