Sheeley commented that "''Wabbit Wampage'' is not worth he price It's a cute idea, and the mail-order shtick is worthy of ''TOON'', but that's all.

It belongs in the same category as ''Monopoly'', ''Risk'', and ''Candyland''."

picture info	Black Morn Manor Black is a color which results from the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It is an achromatic color, without hue, like white and grey.
