| abstract | - In Metropolis, Clark Kent and Lois Lane are investigating reports of a mysterious giant plane (the work of the villainous Toyman) when they encounter Mr. Mxyzptlk. He causes a 'Czarbucks' coffee shop to grow out of the ground like a plant and then starts 'seeding' the whole city with similar pointless businesses. Clark switches to Superman to pursue him, but ultimately uses his civilian identity to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards (by getting him to read a list to which Clark has added 'Kltpzyxm'). Meanwhile, 'in a forest on the edge of some other city in some other universe', Elmer Fudd pursues Bugs Bunny and manages to corner him. When he tries to shoot Bugs, though, his bullets turn into flowers. This is the work of the Do-do bird, who has left Wacky Land via a dimensional transporter in search of people to annoy, but is feeling inadequate due to the fact everyone in the Looney Tunes' world is already crazy. Also, the transporter is not working, leaving him unable to search elsewhere. Inspired by a Superman comic, Bugs tricks the Do-do into saying 'Od-od' (Do-do backwards), sending him to another dimension. During their respective trips, Mxyzptlk and the Do-do collide and crash-land in yet another dimension. When Mxyzptlk learns that the world the Do-do just left has no superheroes, they build a larger transporter so Mxyzptlk can go to Looney Tune World and cause chaos there. However, he soon learns why the Do-do left when he encounters Foghorn Leghorn (who pies him in the face), Daffy Duck (who drops an anvil on him) and the Tasmanian Devil (who tries to eat him). Mxyzptlk's disappointment is short-lived, as he then comes up a plan to cause chaos in the DC universe by sending the Looney Tunes there. Soon the DC superheroes are encountering Looney Tunes; Green Lantern catches Marvin the Martian plotting to destroy Earth on the Moon, the Flash finds himself racing Speedy Gonzales and later the Roadrunner (the latter being pursued by Wile E. Coyote), Plastic Man disguises himself as a cat to spy on a cat-loving gangster only to be romanced by Pepe Le Pew before encountering Sylvester and Tweety Pie, Aquaman is nearly blown out of the water by Yosemite Sam's pirate ship and Batman, on the trail of the Penguin, instead finds Playboy Penguin. The Looney Tunes don't seem to find this unusual, but the fact that they only appear briefly and then vanish elsewhere means the superheroes are soon questioning their own sanity. Meanwhile, Mxyzptlk plots to cause even more havoc by swapping Superman with Elmer Fudd . . .
