Edited by Richard E. Hughes. Stories by Richard Hughes and others. Art by Dan Gordon, Ken Hultgren and Bob Wickersham. Funny-animal comics from independent publisher ACG, featuring the Itchy & Scratchy-like Puss an Boots, misguided inventor Blunderbunny, owl detective Whoo-Dunnit, and Western dog marshal Alkali Ike. Sometimes the characters break through the fourth wall and into the laps of the kids who are watching their cartoons. Cadwallader the ghost looks down his nose at Hector the Specter because he doesn't haunt a fancy mansion; Detective Whoo-Doodit is robbed of his special crime-solving clothing; Blunderbunny invents various humane weapons, but the U.S. government rejects them, in a story with overt Cold War references, including a mention of USSR premier Georgy Malenkov. Puss an' Boots; Blunderbunny; Too Much to Bear!; Hector the Specter; The Trouble-Shooter; Chow Hound!; Whoo-Doodit. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
