The Momma Treasury

The Momma Treasury is a single-issue comic published by Andrews McMeel in 1978, collecting the earliest newspaper strips of Mell Lazarus's beloved "Momma" series. This treasury edition offers a generous sampling of the warm, wry humor that made the strip a long-running favorite, focusing on the everyday trials and family dynamics of its titular matriarch. It serves as a key artifact of late-1970s newspaper comic culture, preserving the debut years of a character who would become a staple of the funny pages.
