* SuddenlyVoiced: In the Gold Key comics, the Road Runner (and [[{{CanonForeigner}} his three sons]!) all talked, and [[RhymesOnADime Rhymed On A Dime,]] to boot.

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

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. WesternAnimation/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. WesternAnimation/BugsBunny received his own spotlight in 1943. Both characters continued having several issues to themselves over the following decade. WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird received their first spotlight issue in 1952. Followed by WesternAnimation/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. WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales had his first and only spotlight issue in 1960.

The '''Bugs Bunny''' magazine by GoldKeyComics/Whitman lasted from 1962 to 1984. A total of 160 issues. The '''Tweety and Sylvester''' magazine by Gold Key Comics/Whitman lasted from 1963 to 1984.

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.
