SUMMARY:
Published by Whitman (Western Publishing Company, Inc.) for February 1980, this issue consists of:
- Klondike Cat (6 pages): Sylvester’s dream puts him in Alaska searching for a rare, exotic Tweety in the Yukon. An instant feud with his sled dog rapidly turns into a nightmare.
- The Big Chase (6 pages): Sylvester’s hose prank unleashes a crosstown hot pursuit by the seething bulldog.
- The Ghoul and the Fool (6 pages): Granny’s new air freshener statue is an exact replica of Tweety. The canary has some fun at Sylvester’s expense when the feline eats the statue by mistake.
- Olympic Chump! (6 pages): As he’s a natural athlete, Sylvester ineptly goes into training to join the upcoming 1980 Olympic Games.
REVIEW:
It’s a given that the humor in these four tales is pretty tame. Of them, “Olympic Chump!” still offers a few fun gags, as does “The Big Chase.” To Whitman’s credit (as seen in the cover), this issue’s visuals actually are far closer to the characters’ Looney Tunes look than earlier issues, especially in “The Ghoul and the Fool.” For the sole purpose of amusing Tweety & Sylvester’s kindergarten-and-under fans, this inoffensive comic is a solid choice.
