Notes: For this reprint, an additional panel was added to the end of the gag to cover the space originally occupied by the “Dell Comics Pledge to Parents”. It consists of a Tony Strobl penciled drawing of Tweety sourced from Panel Three of the inside front cover gag – also reprinted from Tweety and Sylvester (Dell, 1954 series # 10 (September-November 1955). In context, the original panel had Tweety lying on the ground but, added sans any background, he appears to be lying in mid-air. A dialogue balloon is added for the bird to say “Poor Puddy Tat…”, giving a “first line” to what was a pantomime gag page. Color on back cover.
