An excellent pick up Jay. Never seen that one.

hm Could have sworn that I knew about it after seeing you post a copy. Ah well it must have been another boardie. The fact that you have never seen it is amazing given the books you have!

Very cool Aaron!
194 pages! How thick is the slab? :whatthe:
Also 50 cents was a hefty price for a funny book back in 1945! I wonder if it was a big seller when it was released. hm

Thanks Jay! Yeah it’s is a thick plastic brick. Some days I serve my wife breakfast on it. 🤣

Right? At FIFTY CENTS I could not imagine many of these selling. That’s 5x less comics in your funny book pile! :whatthe:  It made sense that Mr. Church had one though. He had the easy means to afford books like this without even thinking twice.

Ok, it is criminally tragic that there hasn’t been a post here since early July. So, here’s a bump and a question: is there a good reference book for funny animal GA books, something akin to Benton’s crime, sci-fi and horror books? I know what I know but I realize there’s a whole lot more out there to learn about!

I'm not aware of any general survey of funny animal comics.   There are a wide variety of reprints of Walt Kelly, George Carlson, Carl Barks and some others.

There are some books that are anthologies:
