Funny Book

Published by Parents' Magazine Press from 1942 to 1946, Funny Book was a nine-issue anthology that brought whimsical, child-friendly humor to wartime readers. The series is most notable for its frequent adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s nonsense verse and stories, illustrated by a rotating roster of artists including Chad Grothkopf. Though short-lived, it stands as a charming example of early all-ages comics, blending literary whimsy with the visual energy of the Golden Age.
