Why This Book Matters
The Humorama digests were a well-known source of cheesecake cartoons and single-panel humor in the mid-twentieth century. Publisher Abe Goodman produced scores of these digest-sized magazines during the 1950s. This collection preserves that playful style for modern readers and connects major cartoonists from Archie Comics, Playboy, MAD, and syndicated newspaper strips.
