This Funny World was an interesting strip. There was no consistent cartoonist, because it essentially reprinted single panel gag comics from various popular magazines. Due to it being copyrighted to Collier's Magazine, Allan Holtz surmises that rather than being reprints, the panels were potentially rejected magazine submissions. It's possible, but seeing as how it outlived Collier's, running from 1945 all the way to 1985, I'm skeptical of that explanation. It's an interesting idea for a newspaper comic nonetheless.

Not much to say about this one. It certainly looks like it could be in a magazine. I like the smug look the man has as he walks away. I wonder where he got a poster of that size.
