Disclose Notes: Cover code: 10070-103. First issue of this series where the configuration of advertisement pages and “Gold Key Comics Club” pages (that is “non-story pages”) is redistributed from that which had been in effect since the Gold Key Comics titles issued in January, 1967. (In the case of the “Bugs Bunny” title, that would be issue #110.) Previously, such non-story pages were limited to the four pages of the centerfold, and the final two interior pages (interior pages 31-32) for a total of SIX pages carved-out of each issue. Beginning with this issue, the number of non-story pages would be increased to SEVEN scattered throughout the issue, and would begin on interior page four. It would continue to increase throughout the 1970s.

anthropomorphic
Bugs Bunny; construction foreman; Mr. Upthrust (building tycoon); unnamed wacky inventor; inventor’s two assistants; two reporters
Bugs was dreaming that he was sitting by a waterfall, until he awoke from his nap to discover…
A shower of concrete comes pouring down Bugs’ vacant city lot rabbit hole, followed by a steel girder. To his dismay, Bugs finds that he is squatting on the site of what is to be a new high-rise apartment building. Rather than fight the construction crew, as he did in animation, he leaves for more suburban climes. Meanwhile, a wacky inventor, who believes in “…inventions-by-chance – throw[ing] stuff together and see what develops”, has set up several “Chance Sites” of random objects scattered about outdoors to test his theories. What happens when Bugs moves into one of those “Chance Sites”?
