| Notes copied from Robb_K upload:
This 130 page Giant comic was produced in late 1944, and issued with a shelf date of January, 1945, By LaSalle Publishing, of Chicago, Illinois, because Ben Sangor’s Creston Publishing (later, American Comics Group) had used up all their wartime paper allotment. And so, LaSalle, who didn’t normally publish comic books, sold some of their unused paper quota to Creston in 1945, to publish this book, as well as Creston’s Funnybone Comics one shot, and Hi-Jinx Comics Giant one-shot, as a stand-in publisher. That was also done by William H. Wise for Creston’s America’s Funniest Comics 1 and 2, Rural Home Publications for Creston’s Laffy-Daffy 1 and 2,and R. B. Leffingwell Publishing did for Creston’s Chuckle Comics Giant in 1944 and 1945. All stories were produced by Ben Sangor’s Studio of Animation Artists in 1943 and mostly in 1944. |

| Ohhh, Not Again. That's the 8th Time. Is there a permanent subscription for this issue |
|
| Many thanks for uploading this complete mint copy, Conan. I worked very hard, trying to get a complete copy of this one. I guess there were complaints about so many versions being uploaded so frequently. Now, that's all been put to bed. Now I can just look forward to Funnybone Comics being uploaded, and ACG's funny animal giant comics will be complete. Thanks again for taking your valuable time away from other projects to do this. Interesting that the cover lists 130 pages, but there are 132 pages of comics counting the cover. |
|
| I assume the cover lists 130 pages since there are 128 interior pages plus the ifc and ibc which had comic content. |
