- Synopsis
- Comic book fan Bugs is consumed with curiosity about "...how these comic book drawers know how things are gonna be five hundred years from now". He and Porky pay a visit to the offices of "Future Comics" and meet an artist who has discovered a "window to the future", and who simply adapts what he sees through said window to his comics. Impulsive Bugs and a reluctant Porky slip through the window and become involved with the theft of an experimental compact rocket ship called "The Rocketing Radish"

Front Cover relates (somewhat) to Sequence 2
A rare-for-the-time "meta-type" comic book story about the comic book industry, and the type of comics prevalent in the 1940s - mid-1950s with titles like "Future Comics" and "Terrific Comics".
Per the story, comic books are alive, well, and still quite popular in this particular version of the future, as evidenced by a number of (literal) "rocket scientists" seated on a bench reading a stack of them.
Nice Little Touches: In the future, "Future Comics" has been renamed "Future Future Comics", and a future woodpecker has a rotating drill bit for a beak.
At the (present day) offices of "Future Comics", Bugs and Porky are advised by the editor to "follow the doodles on the walls" to reach the artist's area - and, sure enough, copious doodles line the corridors and stairwells leading the pair to their destination. Can those many, many doodles mean that famed "margin-doodler" Sergio Aragonés may have roamed those halls?
