Bunny Style - Fashion

One of the expected features in female led teen comics was the reader fashion pages with clothing styles designed by the readers. (At least, allegedly so. Where do they get those submissions for the first issues?)

Bunny was no different in that regard, though perhaps the presentation was a bit better than some others:

 Way back in the second issue, however, Bunny was already establishing her own style there, too.
Everybody had fashion clothing designs - Bunny had vehicles, too. That second issue had three of them to set the trend:

In the 3rd issue, O.O. Heaven actually did show up, just not in a story -

(Actually, he showed up at least one more time in issue #10)

 The fashion pages continued to feature groovy cars for our cast...

...and a wide variety of other vehicles, including bicycles, boats, rockets, surfboards, planes, etc.,...

...and even a plane for Fruit Man...

When you're Queen Of The In-Crowd!, one must get around in style.

Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 12

This week's bit of loveliness from Gil Elvgren is entitled It's Easy, from 1955-

Non-Verbal Blue

Sorry for the disruption yesterday - we'll resume with Bunny tomorrow.
Amazing how disruptive a lost chastity key can be.
Meanwhile...

A couple weeks back we had a post entitled Non-Verbal In The Groovy Age looking at a bunch of splash page artwork from underground comics & comix. Of course, underground artists, being underground artists, frequently like to let loose when working free of the restrictions imposed upon mainstream work. And so we have a theme for today's

If you want to take a gander at a couple dozen full and double page uncensored art from the undergrounds in the Groovy Age, head on to our adult content Back Room for the post.
To help you decide, the image source listing is posted below.

Bunny Ball's Super Boys

As noted last time, O.O. Heaven appeared in issues 1, 2, & 4 of Bunny.
So what happened in the gap with no super-spy hero running around? We get not a fumbling rookie spy, but our first full-on superhero - Fruitman!

Y'know...  This guy -

Okay - maybe you don't remember Percival Pineapple. Let's get a closer look, eh?

 Fruitman stuck around as a regular feature in Bunny, and a couple issues later he was joined by a second superhero in the book - Sooper Hippie, by Howie Post, who joined the line-up immediately after O.O. Heaven departed. This tale comes from a half dozen issues later, his 3rd appearance:

Heroes for the Groovy Age.

...Or Was It The Man From U.N.C.L.E.?

Despite the impression we were given in the first issue, O.O. Heaven did return in the second issue of Bunny, and once again in issue #4 before someone finally said "Knock it off!" and he disappeared, presumably undercover or perhaps rotting in a 3rd world prison, awaiting the seemingly inevitable dark & gritty reboot.

Or maybe he just got fired.
