Synopsis

An ice cream-exporting island populated by children and ruled by a benevolent boy-king, a brawny ice cream smuggler dressed as a gorilla, and an estranged French husband and wife with decidedly different skill-sets are all brought together with Yosemite Sam, Bugs Bunny, Jason, and Jenny for the last original book-length story featuring Warner Bros. characters to be produced by Western Publishing.

Indexer Notes

Great Bit: One of Sam's prized possessions, locked safely in his ship's cabin, is "...an authentic photo of [Sam] shaking hands with Captain Hook... talk about painful experiences!"

Villain Gunther Frimp steals the photo, remarking: "It'll be worth TWO BITS at the next Pirates' Convention in Atlantic City!"
