SUMMARY:
Published by DC Comics for January 1995, this 32-page issue offers some Christmas season capers. The stories are:
- “How the Wabbit Saved Christmas” (18 pages). Writer: Jack Enyart, with art by George Wildman; Scott McRae; Bob Pinaha; & Dave Tanguay. On Christmas Eve, chimney sweepers Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck’s efforts to nudge Elmer Fudd’s holiday spirit set them up as an injured Santa’s stand-ins. Filling in for Santa, their overnight hijinks includes appearances from Penelope Pussycat, Pepe Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, and the Tasmanian Devil.
- “All Trapped Up” (3 pages). Writer: Bobbi JG Weiss, with art by Horacio Saavedra; Rubén Torreiro; Bob Pinaha; & Dave Tanguay. Sylvester the Cat’s Christmas Eve snooping over what gift his devoted son has in store for him has an ironic outcome.
- An untitled and uncredited Bugs Bunny single-page comic strip has Bugs befuddling Elmer Fudd’s sense of Christmas spirit.
REVIEW:
Including a delightful cover image, this issue’s artwork is as good as one could hope for. While the lead story isn’t nearly as hilarious as it might have been, it offers some decent kiddie fun. The inspired gag re: Penelope Pussycat’s ‘Christmas present’ for Pepe Le Pew is the likely highlight. The Sylvester-Sylvester Jr. tale isn’t all that funny, but it’s worth a mild chuckle. The same might be said of the Bugs Bunny comic strip, which is presumably a newspaper reprint. All said, Looney Tunes # 10 isn’t worth multiple reads for adults, but it’s a decent holiday one-and-done read for young fans.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
Bugs and Tweety & Sylvester separately offer full-page kiddie activities.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 4½ Stars
