Adventures in Comic-Boxing: Tweety “Wites” Phonetically to a See-Through Sylvester!


From LOONEY TUNES # 36 (Whitman Comics, Cover Date: February, 1981) comes a little hidden gem!

Tweety and Sylvester "The Teeny Genie" 4 pages. Written by Vic Lockman and penciled by Pete Alvarado. 


As you might imagine from the opening splash panel, Tweety pulls a "genie hoax" on Sylvester.  Check out this sequence where:


A: Tweety writes a note just as he speaks!  ("wub", "wish-gwanting", "yours twuly")


B: The unknown colorist uses the same shade of green for Sylvester's eyes - AND the panel background, giving the puddy-tat's skull a "see-through look"!


C: Teeny-Tweety-Genie appears with the exclamation "SHAZOOM!" owing to this classic comics character and series! 

Aw, heck... This story is so short - and there's absolutely no chance of it ever being reprinted anywhere - that I might as well give you the whole thing!  

Honestly, as things stand, couldn't we ALL use a little more Tweety and Sylvester in our days?
