The largest rabbit seems to be a cyclops.Daffy is in the spotlight and on the spot. Three large burly, and angry, rabbits loom over the duck. Another much smaller rabbit has a mallet at the ready. Daffy is starting to tell a joke, "So didja hear hear the one about the three stupid rabbits..." and his voice trails off on the last word as he nervously realizes his audience.
The largest rabbit seems to be a cyclops.
Bugs is woken up as a tractor beam pulls him from his bed and toward a flying saucer. Once aboard he finds Marvin admiring his fur. The Martian wants it for himself, to keep warm in the cold of space.
Bugs resists until told the process is painless, but resumes his struggles when side effects are mentioned. Marvin energizes a 'hare remover' and Bugs quickly deflects the ray with a handy mirror, leaving the Martian in a puddle.
A recovered Marvin searches for the rabbit, who shows up as a beautician from Space Central and soon is giving the Martian the works, in the guise of helping him get his own hair. This starts with a wig, goes on to a hard mud treatment, continues with an unusual scalp massage, and ends with a bang.
It dawns on Marvin that he's still dealing with the rabbit and uses his blaster. Bugs manages to escape the ray and it hits the hare remover machine. The resulting explosion sends the spaceship out of control. The saucer crashes in the tropics and now Marvin is too hot.
Page 7: It's rather unusual to see Marvin without his helmet Page 7: The Hair Club for Men offers a method of hair replacement which is supposed to look natural. Page 8: Acme is everywhere, even supplying the space concrete kept on Marvin's saucer. Page 8: "A little dab'll do ya" was once the famous tag-line for Brylcreem hair gel.(EC) Page 10: Marvin seems to be putting himself down in the second panel, though not intentionally. Page 12: In the middle of the third panel Bugs is 'pronking' like Pepe le Pew.
Page 1: Reversed mailbox with backwards flag, again. Page 7: The tablecloth that was white earlier is now yellow, though it does at least remains yellow for the rest of the story. Page 7: Where did Marvin suddenly get that green shirt? Bugs' foot pads aren't colored in many places throughout the story.Sylvester Jr. says no to doing the laundry, even offering to do the dishes instead. He's not afraid the laundry, but he does fear the ghost in the basement. Sylvester drags him downstairs, showing the ghost to be only a mouse. They'll both catch the mouse after the laundry is done.
Just then Acme Delivery loses a package from Australia. A kangaroo, still mostly in a box, hops through a window and crashes into the basement, getting a coat of white paint in the process. A startled Junior rapidly goes back upstairs. Sylvester then takes a net down to catch the mouse and prove there is no ghost.
The painted kangaroo is what gets caught and it puts up a fight. This has Sylvester believing in ghosts until Junior convinces him there no such things, just mice. Again Sylvester descends to deal with the matter. Again Sylvester gets pummeled.
Acme Delivery recovers the kangaroo, though by dumb luck, and the ghost is gone. Not gone soon enough, though. Sylvester now refuses to go back into the basement. He deals with the laundry by taking a trip to the Laundromat.
The title is rather punning, isn't it? Page 18: Besides dirty dishes, there are fish skeletons in the sink. Page 26: The cats would choose that Laundromat. It's next to a place that seems to be advertising fish. You may be wondering why cats would even do laundry as they have their own built-in coats by design. Cats like to sleep on freshly done laundry. (Or so I've been told...PN) Page 18: Sylvester's foot pad isn't colored in on the fourth panel. Page 18: In the fourth panel the stairs appear to turn yet are straight in the rest of the story. Page 19: The yellow lines indicate a two-way street and the Acme truck is parked facing the wrong way. Or maybe it's just the Acme way. Page 22: The box label changes from that seen on page 19.(EC) Page 22: The kangaroo's nose is red here, whereas later on it is black.(EC) Page 26: How did the kangaroo lose the paint job? Page 26: The delivery driver's shoes were gray, like his shirt, on page 19, but are now white.Daffy is trying to keep warm next to his 'Will work for food' sign when he sees a sign advertising amateur comedy night, with cash prize, at the Hare Club. The duck gives it a try. Unfortunately, Daffy's jokes all fall flat.
Annoyed at the lack of reaction, Daffy starts insulting the crowd. The crowd throws carrots. The duck manages a few more cracks and even some physical comedy before getting thrown out. He changes his sign to match what he just did, and he did get some food at least.
Page 29: The chirping cricket gag is used well here, something not easily done in this medium. Page 30: Notice the smaller rabbit trying to get in on the vegetable hurling. That rabbit shows up in the last panel of the story as well. Page 31: Is it really a few hours after midnight? It seems to be with the moon's crescent facing that way.* Issue Index * Tabular Issue Index * Story Index * Creative People * Disclaimer *
