Bugs Bunny #136
In "Top Rock Rabbit," Porky, Cicero, and Elmer form a rock band for a festival audition, only to be dismissed—until Bugs Bunny’s dramatic yelp, triggered by a falling flowerpot, catches the judge’s ear. The man is sold on their act, but only if Bugs joins as lead singer… with one major catch: he can only sing when his toe is stomped. When Bugs refuses to play the pain game, he hatches a clever plan involving hypnosis. Art by Phil De Lara, with cover by Ralph Heimdahl, this 1971 Western Comics issue delivers a delightfully absurd twist on rock 'n' roll dreams.

Porky (on organ), Cicero (on accordion), and Elmer (on a four-string acoustic guitar) have a rock group, and they try out for a man who stages rock festivals, but he is unimpressed. Then Bugs, listening from outside, drops a flowerpot on his own foot and bellows in pain, and the rock festival man loves the sound and says he'll take the group as long as Bugs is on vocals. However, they find that Bugs can't make the sounds without having his toe stomped on, and he wants nothing to do with the group if it requires foot pain. But then Bugs has an idea for a solution involving hypnosis.
