This 130 page Giant comic was produced in late 1944, and issued with a shelf date of January, 1945, By LaSalle Publishing, of Chicago, Illinois, because Ben Sangor’s Creston Publishing (later, American Comics Group) had used up all their wartime paper allotment. And so, LaSalle, who didn’t normally publish comic books, sold some of their unused paper quota to Creston in 1945, to publish this book, as well as Creston’s Funnybone Comics one shot, and Hi-Jinx Comics Giant one-shot, as a stand-in publisher. That was also done by William H. Wise for Creston’s America’s Funniest Comics 1 and 2, Rural Home Publications for Creston’s Laffy-Daffy 1 and 2,and R. B. Leffingwell Publishing did for Creston’s Chuckle Comics Giant in 1944 and 1945. All stories were produced by Ben Sangor’s Studio of Animation Artists in 1943 and mostly in 1944.
