About the series
The long-running British humor series Jokes began in 1898 under the Greyfriars imprint, spanning nine issues in its initial run. While its title suggests a straightforward gag-a-minute approach, the series is best known for its early contributions to the comic strip format, blending lighthearted cartoons with short prose pieces. Its legacy lies in helping to establish the tone and structure for later British humor comics, though its specific creative talent remains largely uncredited in surviving records.
