Looney Tunes 73

Looney Tunes 73

This was a first-run story that was later reprinted in Looney Tunes issue 193. Like any Bugs Bunny cartoon, the re-run is still welcome.

Bugs and Daffy find themselves lost at the North Pole after the inevitable wrong turn. An ever helpful Santa takes the wayward wanderers in for warmth and a tour of the factory. Daffy sees dollar signs and plays Jimmy Hoffa to the elves. While his attempts to unionize the indigenous help is well received by the elves, Santa and Bugs take umbrage.

In usual Bugs Bunny fashion, the rascally rabbit is able to defuse the situation.

Daffy then attempts to atone for his actions only to worsen the situation. Santa and Rudolph are knocked cold and the un-merry mallard is recruited to help pull the sleigh. Bugs dons the dress reds and plays Santa.

Guest appearances include Wile E. Coyote who is on the receiving end of a faux road runner that leads to dental problems. Sylvester the cat and Tweety Bird re-enact their “Snow Business” animated short.

Finally the duo alight on the roof of DC’s corporate headquarters in time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
