Belly Laffs

Toby Press's Belly Laffs was a short-lived, six-issue humor anthology that ran from 1955 to 1956, offering a quick burst of mid-century comic relief. The series relied on a rotating team of reliable gag cartoonists, including Stanley Rayon, Bob Tupper, and Don Douglas, to fill its pages with lighthearted, single-panel jokes and short strips. While it never achieved lasting fame, Belly Laffs stands as a modest but charming snapshot of the era's disposable, newsstand comedy—a small, unpretentious title in the crowded field of 1950s humor comics.
