In a world of sarcastic rabbits, megalomaniacal ducks, stuttering pigs, and dancing frogs, what defines greatness? The question was posed to thousands of cartoon fans, historians, and animators who were asked to elect the greatest Looney Tunes episodes of all time based on historical significance, biggest laughs, best animation, and important milestones. The chosen ’toons were then researched and compiled by cartoon historian Jerry Beck, who presents their stories in this book. Whether it’s Bugs Bunny’s aria in “What’s Opera Doc,” Daffy Duck’s hilarious frustration in “Duck Amuck,” Porky Pig’s surrealist journey in “Porky in Wackyland,” or that imperialist Martian in “Duck Dodgers in the 24th Century,” Looney Tunes’ most recognizable episodes and faces are gathered for the first time in a single volume. Featuring more than 300 color illustrations from private collectors and the Warner Brothers archives, the book is a compulsively readable reference for any animation fan.
