You appear to be correct in identifying Chase Craig's Bugs Bunny. About 20 years ago, Roger Armstrong told me that Craig had drawn the unusual looking Bugs Bunny story(ies) in LOONEY TUNES AND MERRIE MELODIES # 2. This one featured all sorts of strange supporting animal characters, including (...as I recall) a tiger. <BR>
<BR>
David, if you have this book -- or have access to it - you can now confirm Craig's art style. I'll see you at San Diego in a month! <BR>
<BR>
Now, would someone please positively identify for me specific examples (with issue numbers and titles) of Bugs Bunny stories by Tom Mc Kimson. I have ALL the Dell Bugs Bunny issues, and many of the older LT&MMs, so just refer to anything therein. David, you (...or any member, for that matter) can answer me privately, if this is "off topic". <BR>

Oh, and thanks to everyone on the DCML for improving the general tone of the list. For a while there, I was NOT enjoying it at all. Now, it's much better. Can we please keep it this way! <BR>
