While Bugs (Easter) Bunny entertains you with his trapeze-Easter-egg-juggling-act, allow me to wish all of you and all of yours a Happy Easter 2024!
From MARCH OF COMICS #273 (Western Publishing, 1965), cover by Ralph Heimdahl.
...And here is why our Easter was so happy, even without a visit from Bugs (Easter) Bunny!
Averi and Cici busily gather Easter Eggs, but stop long enough for a picture!

Happy Easter to you and yours, Joe!
Thank you, Sergio! And a second-such wish (the first one being in the post) to you and yours!
Happy Easter to everyone!
May this time when spring defeats winter, the day wins over the night and light triumphs over darkness give us hope that all evil things can be defeated, even if the situation at times looks bleak or even hopeless. May it also give us strength, so that even if we fall for the first, second or third time, we nevertheless keep rising and going on. And may it give us courage to see the happy ending on the horizon, even if the present situation is difficult.
I wish you, Joe, and all readers of this Blog all the best, lots of nice comics to read and plenty of free time to do this! I hope you have gotten loads of delicious chocolate eggs - if not from the Easter Beagle, then at least from his worthy assistant :)

And Happy Easter to you and yours, T.!
Your comment appears a day late, but for the best possible reason… Esther and I spent a wonderful day with Averi, Cici, and Logan – even sending them on an Easter Egg hunt! …Well, maybe not Logan because… you must walk, before you… um, er… hunt, I suppose!
That is a WONDERFUL passage… and makes me think back to a fair number of times where it was not only applicable, but well expressed the thoughts within me during those periods that I was unable to articulate them! And it is SO TRUE! Thank you!
I actually DID receive a chocolate egg from the EASTER BEAGLE, but it was promptly stolen by the EASTER BEAGLE-BOY! Oh, well…
HERE is T.’s Easter Beagle link for your chocolate egg receiving pleasure!
Thankfully, I can supply no corresponding Easter Beagle-Boy link…
UPDATE:
Added a photo of Averi and Cici on their Easter Egg hunt!
The image of Bugs Bunny puts me in mind of "My Dream is Yours" in which, along with Doris Day and Jack Carson in bunny suits, he serenades Doris' son Freddy on Easter morning. Tweety Bird even shows up, decades before the "Bugs and Tweety Show" became a thing! It's a fun movie to watch, despite the fact that for most of it Doris is setting her cap at THE WRONG GUY, whom everybody but Doris knows is a no-good, and doesn't wake up and smell the Jack Carson-brewed coffee until nearly the very last frame! I don't think I've ever felt as sorry for Jack Carson in any movie as much as here. He's such a great guy, how could Doris not fall in love with him right away? Anyway, "Freddy Get Ready" is a nice pick-me-up in the middle of Doris' home-made fiasco, and it certainly shows good chemistry between Doris and Warner Bros' top leading man of all time--namely, Bugs Bunny!
Anyway, happy belated Easter, Joe, and I'm so glad the girls (and Logan) got in their Easter Egg Hunt.
Would love to know what story lurks beneath the cover of that Bugs Bunny book!!!
Best Easter and post-Easter wishes to all!
Scarecrow:
I’ve seen that clip from "My Dream is Yours" as a bonus feature on one of the early Looney Tunes DVDs. Very charming, indeed.
I might never have quite “felt sorry for Jack Carson” considering I knew him best from roles as in “The Strawberry Blonde” (1941) where he was a rare screen presence that could upstage James Cagney – practically being “Gladstone Gander” to Cagney’s “Donald Duck” , the glib-tongued con man who “discovered” the Comstock Lode in BONANZA’s “Mr. Henry Comstock” (1959), and the ugly American who suffers a fate worse then even *he* deserves in a backward Italian village in “The Children of Alda Nuova” (1962) for ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS.
…But he was great in ALL THREE, and in everything else I’ve seen him in!
The Bugs Bunny MARCH OF COMICS contains “The Big Game Hunters”, drawn by Tony Strobl, which was reprinted in GOLDEN COMICS DIGEST #5 (1969), so you might actually have this story.
…And, thanks to you for prompting me to look this up, I happened to notice that the GOLDEN COMICS DIGEST reprint was NOT recorded *as a reprint* at GCD! (Make up your own GOLDEN COMICS DIGEST / GCD joke here!) so I’ve made the correction and it will be submitted for editing and approval shortly!
