agamoto Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this already, but part of this topic involved discussion of the true 1st appearance of Pepe le Pew. It's Daffy Duck #27. While Looney Tunes #240 did indeed wind up on the same shelves with it's October cover date, the actual newsstand date for Daffy was August 1, 1961. Looney Tunes #240 hit the newsstands August 17th. Reminds me of what happened with another popular "black and white" character back in 1984.

Was wondering If anyone out there with knowledge of such things as actual newsstand dates of comics knew for sure which issue 'hit' first. Thanks (but now I need a highgrade Daffy #27) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 @OtherEric Nice! Issue 33 gets recognized because of the War Bonds connection, but the 'carrot dream' cover is pretty cool also. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricmastro Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I think that Bosko could still reasonably be seen as being part of the Looney Tunes family despite not being featured as often anymore.

That will be a heckuva Group Shot should you attempt it! +++Some musings about this cover : It's dated Jan, 1945 (though it was likely on the stands Dec 1944?) Pepe Le Pew made his cartoon debut Jan 1945. I know his first actual appearance in a comic story was in 1961. BUT, Given the date of this comic and the release date of his first animated short, could this possibly be a promotion of the short, hence his first comic appearance, or am i reaching?

Nice use of Lavender, Purple and Pink. Surprised no takers on the Pepe inquiry. Oh, well... Guess i will write CGC with my findings and see what they think. Worth a shot..

The skunk really doesn't look much like Pepe at all to me, and I don't think there was that sort of coordination at the time anyway. It's a neat coincidence, though!
