The last pics may have been 'lost' anyway in the Photobucket fiasco. This maybe a Wall Banner, I don't know, but the likeness' used on it correspond with other LTMM merchandise I've seen (and own ) from around '41. It's so early in the franchises history that the name 'Looney Tunes' is not used on it only' Merrie Melodies'. And Bugs and Daffy still rising stars are presented smaller than Porky, Elmer and (gasp) Petunia and Sniffles Very cool Corey! Nice and graphic. Something tells me it might be cartoon related rather than comic book related. Thus the omission of "Looney Tunes". The parachute suggests maybe early wartime era. You need to change the background to black to make it really "pop". Plus, if it were me, I'd put my pinback buttons on either side of it in the frame...

Black would work better, and the pinbacks would look nice too. ...to be continued ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me, depending on the material, like it could be a child's blanket. And is that Owl Jolson I see on it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's thin material and that size, possibly it was a handkerchief or neckerchief or something along those lines. But I'm just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A filler copy, even by my low standards, as it's missing the back cover. But it's firmly early enough that I'll take a filler copy happily for now! 9 pages of Walt Kelly in this one, so extra happy to have it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO early in the run and scarcely offered for sale. Cool book in ANY shape. Congrats! Funny how Dell was still utilizing Sniffles on the covers.

Funny how Dell was still utilizing Sniffles on the covers. And... there are two variants on this issue, apparently. Here's the cover from the GCD, the word "Comics" is different. You can just barely see a color difference where the larger word used to be on my cover. I don't think this one has been documented before; as soon as the GCD is up and running again I'll add it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Wow, never realized that. Now I'm trying to recall which version I've noticed most, and if say the larger logo seems unfamiliar. Thanks for costing me a few more bucks down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for costing me a few more bucks down the road A quick look at heritage shows 16 sales (although some of those may be the same issue repeating); 3 are small logo compared to 13 with the large. So my impression is the large logo is noticeably more common, but the small logo isn't insanely rare in relative terms either. I LOVE discovering undocumented variants like that. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Happy National Bugs Bunny Day (Apr. 30th) Always happy to post on this date annually in honor of my favorite fictional character. Thought i'd dig into the Looney Tunery and share a Bugs item for the occasion: Here's a Matchbook (not sure of the date) larger than average (4'' in length) with the iconic Hare. I love how the matches have 'Cartoons' emblazoned on them! I've also included a link with the calendar of other National Day dates, and the origins of this one. Enjoy Wascally ones! https://nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-bugs-bunny-day-april-30/ OtherEric and comicjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sagii Posted August 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Recently both Comiclink and Heritage(closing this Saturday) have offered high grade copies of this one. It's a key as it's Bugs Bunny's first Four Color Comics issue. Doesn't hurt that it has a 'nasty' bondage cover for a funny animal book. I was tempted to snag the C'Link issue and mulled over the Heritage copy, but am satisfied with this copy and can put resources into other gold i don't have. I've owned this issue three times: My first copy years ago i found had undisclosed color touch after i submitted it for grading, my second copy had 'dull' whites. This one was just right for me. Third times the charm Will surface here on the Boards again after i have it graded eventually Edited August 2, 2018 by sagii szucchini, Jayman, Sqeggs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
