From the beloved Whitman Tell-a-Tale Book series, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Petunia Pig, and Elmer Fudd have gone fishing. Bugs claims to have caught a shark underwater. The caption from this page spread reads, "'Now where is the shark?' jeered Elmer. 'I don't believe there weally is one!' 'Oh no?' retorted Bugs. 'What do you call that?' And he pointed around the side of the boathouse."
