This is a significant issue for any Bugs Bunny or Looney Tunes collector, as this is the very first mention of him in the prestigious New York Times. The mention appears on page 2 of the second section (page x3) with headline: "BUGS BUNNY, CARROT CRUNCHING COMIC". See photos for text here. Very significant being the first appearance of "Bugs Bunny" in the pages of this famous newspaper
Other news, sports, and advertisements of the day throughout with much on World War II. You get the complete 100+ page issue, a few tape mends on the front page, otherwise good condition.
