Comic Almanac

A long-running British institution, Comic Almanac began in 1878 under the Fortey publishing imprint, offering a single annual issue filled with humorous and seasonal illustrations, jokes, and almanac-style miscellany. Over its extensive history, it became a familiar, lighthearted fixture for readers, reflecting the changing tastes of comic humor across decades. Its longevity and consistent format made it a quietly enduring part of the Victorian and early 20th-century comic landscape.
