No Frills Funnies

Philip Page’s No Frills Funnies is a one-shot from Splat Publications (1985) that lives up to its name: a stripped-down, gag-driven comic strip collection with no narrative pretensions. Page wrote and drew every page, delivering a quick, unpolished burst of humor that feels like a forgotten underground comix one-off. As a singular release, it stands as a time capsule of a creator’s raw, unfiltered voice—no series, no sequels, just a single, self-contained joke book.
