Notes:
Ad for Daisy’s Safari Mark I B-B Gun. Color and sepia tone ad on inside front cover.
Bugs Bunny #26016 published January 1976 Notes:
Various script and plot elements in this story indicate that it could have been written by classic animation writer Michael Maltese. By the early 1970s, Maltese found fewer animation writing opportunities and returned to Western Publishing where he formerly wrote comic book scripts as a sideline to his legendary work as an animation storyman. He largely concentrated on characters familiar to him, such as Bugs Bunny, but appears to have written for Western’s Pink Panther title as well. The characterization of Bugs in this story is very much in keeping with the character as he appeared in the Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny theatrical shorts, which were largely written by Maltese – making him a likely writer of this story.
Notes:
Various cartoon characters, comic characters, and counterculture symbols offered as embroidered cloth patches. Between pages 4 and 5 of previous story.
