History ComicBook / LooneyTunes

After their popularity soared in the [[TheThirties 1930s]], the LooneyTunes franchise ventured into comics from the [[TheForties 1940s]]-[[TheFifties 1950s]] (DellComics) all the way to the modern age of comics in the [[TheNineties 1990s]] and in the 21st century (DCComics), apart from their theatrical shorts, feature films, and TV shows.

The '''Four Color''' anthology title (1930-1962) by Dell Comics spotlighted various characters to try out whether they merited additional appearances or spin-off series. PorkyPig received his first spotlight issue in 1942. The story Porky of the Mounties (July, 1944) by CarlBarks is considered a highlight for the character. BugsBunny received his own spotlight in 1943. Both characters continued having several issues to themselves over the following decade. SylvesterCatAndTweetyBird received their first spotlight issue in 1952. Followed by DaffyDuck in 1953. Petunia Pig, Elmer Fudd, Mary Jane and Sniffles also received spotlight issues in 1953, but they never "graduated" to having titles of their own. Elmer did however have several subsequent issues to himself. WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner received their first spoltlight issue in 1958. Though the Road Runner (as "Beep Beep") got top billing. They were featured in several subsequent issues. SpeedyGonzales had his first and only spotlight issue in 1960.

Dell Comics eventually gave the Looney Tunes characters their own spin-offs. The '''Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics''' (1941-1955) lasted for 165 issues under that name. Then was renamed to simply '''Looney Tunes''' (1955-1962) and lasted for another 81 issues. A total of 246 issues under either name. The '''Bugs Bunny''' magazine (1952-1962) lasted for 58 regular issues. Plus various holiday-themed specials (Halloween, Christmas, etc). The '''Porky Pig''' magazine (1952-1962) lasted for 57 issues. The '''Tweety and Sylvester''' magazine (1954-1962) lasted for 34 issues. The '''Daffy''' magazine (1956-1962, later renamed to '''Daffy Duck''') lasted for 27 issues. '''Beep Beep the Road Runner''' magazine (1960-1962) lasted for 11 issues.

The '''Looney Tunes Magazine''' (1989-1992), published first by DC and then by the Welsh Publishing Group, lasted for 10 issues. It was then renamed to '''Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes Magazine''', but that didn't help either the sales or the longevity of the title. The current '''Looney Tunes''' magazine by DC was launched in April, 1994. Still ongoing as of 2012, with over 200 issues published.

* DeliciousFruitPies: Even the Looney Tunes ensemble was employed to plug Hostess' confectioneries. Except for the one where [[TeamRocketWins Wile E. Coyote actually SUCCEEDS in capturing the Road Runner]] and DaffyDuck [[OutofCharacterMoment shows up to rescue him]], they generally make more sense than the {{Superhero}} ones.

* HairDecorations: Mary Jane wears a black or red bow on her blonde hair in the comics. Also Petunia Pig wears bows on her pigtails.
