Notes: "Reprinted by popular demand".

Dialogue and situations are "Maltese-ian"! Bugs heckles the witch into submission with such tried and true methods as the explosive-permanent-hair-styling gag, disguising himself as another witch, and the old standard "Quick... He's in that closet!" and "Hurry! He's in this cupboard!" dodge - pointing to Michael Maltese as this story's author.
