Publication History: Dates: -
Billy Make Believe was created by cartoonist Harry E. Homan, whose other work in comics seems to be sparse, but who also did Billy's topper, How to Make It (which described amateur craft projects for its juvenile audience). The distributor was United Feature Syndicate (Gordo, Garfield), which launched it as a Sunday-only feature on July 22, 1934.

Billy's end date is less well known. Comics historian Allan Holtz (the discoverer of Bobby the Boy Scout) has speculated that it may have lasted less than a year, despite the fact that United Feature appears to have promoted it as late as 1938. World Color Printing (Major Ozone's Fresh Air Crusade), which Holtz notes was known for buying up and reprinting short-run comics, distributed reruns of it as recently as 1940, but that seems to have been the last of it.

It was also reprinted in an occasional comic book such as Comics on Parade, one of several that specialized in United Feature strips like The Captain & the Kids and Fritzi Ritz. But that was the extent of its media penetration. source:toonopedia.com
