Bugs Bunny's Christmas Party

It's time to get this Christmas party started...

...and what better way than with Bugs Bunny's Christmas Party #6 (November, 1955), by Ralph Heimdahl and Don McLaughlin's painted cover...

...with Bugs, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Petunia Pig, Tweety and Sylvester starting to celebrate the Christmas holiday in this Dell giant!

Legion Of Super-Heroes Bugs Bunny

Getting close to Easter, and thinking of rabbits and gatherings, so, what would be more appropriate than taking a look at a team up...

...of the Legion of Super-Heroes and Bugs Bunny!  (???)

Enjoy these covers by Tom Grummett and Karl Kesel, and the variant by Ty Templeton.

Yes, a part of the DC/Looney Tunes series from August, 2017, with a main tale in the super-hero style (by Sam Humphries, Tom Grummett and Scott Hanna), with Supergirl in the Legion's future.  To save her, Brainiac 5 sends Computo 2 back to Smallville to recruit Superboy, but ends up with Bugs Bunny instead, with Juan Manuel Ortiz providing the animated back-up, telling the tale from the side Super-Rabbit (Bugs Bunny), and how the Legion helped his really wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Happy Easter Bugs Bunny

For being a rascally rabbit, Bugs Bunny doesn't really partake in Easter covers, or at least he didn't do too many at his time as a solo artist at Gold Key from 1962 to 1983.

Here's one, from Bugs Bunny #117 (May, 1968), and look here for more Bugs Bunny's comic history.

Happy Easter!

Happy 80th Anniversary Bugs Bunny

Happy 80th Anniversary to Bugs Bunny!


While in more recent years, he's appeared with some of his "super friends" as a part of the greater Warner Brothers universe....Bugs Bunny has had quite the history!

While Bugs had appeared a few times with Porky Pig starting in 1938 as Happy Rabbit, the first feature starring Bugs Bunny (as such) was in Tex Avery's "A Wild Hare" that came out on July 27, 1940, with Bugs voiced by Mel Blanc, facing off against one of his most persistent foes.....Elmer Fudd!

Bugs Bunny had his first foray into comics back in the 1940s, as one of many features in Dell's Four Color Comics, where he continued well into the 1950s, when he got his own series starting with issue #28 in December-January 1952/1953 (starting there because he had 27 Four Color issues!).

Gold Key/Whitman kept the Bugs Bunny title running from the 1960s to the 1980s, running issues #86 (October, 1962) to the title's end in 1983 with #245.


Still, this wasn't the end for that rascally rabbit!

DC started some Bugs Bunny tales with a 3 issue series starting in June, 1990, continuing on with specials, one-shots and Looney Toons comics.....

....and the party will likely be going on well into the future!
