Tweety & Friends playing cards
Tweety and other Looney Tunes characters featured on every card.
Looney Tunes, the American animated comedy short film series, has been popular since its inception in 1930. Here, thirteen of the main characters – Tweety, Bugs Bunny, Granny, Sylvester, Daffy Duck, Tasmanian Devil, Porky Pig, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Marvin The Martian, Pepe Le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn, and Sylvester Jr. – each appear in four different guises. Some of the designs extend right to the edge of the card. Unusually, the indices have been printed in a wide range of colours but always the same for each value. Rules for a special Granny Old Maid game are also included. See the box►
