Ad offering one and two year subscriptions to Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies at a discount off the newsstand price. Three coupons are included in the ad with a selection of $1.00 for one year and $1.75 for two years. A "free gift card" (presumably bearing the donor's name) is included with each subscription. Color ad on inside back cover.
The ad shows Bugs Bunny holding an apparently non-existent issue of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics - one bearing a cover with a very nicely drawn Santa Claus leaving a wrapped gift under a Christmas tree, while Porky, Petunia, Bugs, Elmer, and Sniffles peer out from behind a sofa. Sniffles is drawn in the same proportions as the adjacent Elmer.
