Another cool McManus comic - The Trouble With Bringing Up Father (1921 Cupples & Leon, 15.5” 9.5”, 46 B/W pgs). Listed as rare in Overstreet. This was printed on thin paper and not many survived in high grade.

Cupples & Leon experimented with what amounts to an early comic book annual by publishing a handful of Big Books, each of which collected three issues of the title into a hardcover. Bringing Up Father The Big Book (1926).

Big Books were C&L’s version of comic annuals, reprinting 3 issues of the regular series. They’re tough to find in nice shape and even tougher with the dust jacket. This is the 2nd and final Bringing Up Father Big Book No. 2 (1929 Cupples & Leon)

The final issue! Bringing Up Father Series No. 24. Overstreet the series as going up to 26, but that is either a mistake based on “coming soon” type ads or deliberately false to catch plagiarists copying their inflation. Bringing Up Father Series No. 24 (1933 Cupples & Leon).

Did some garage tidying and found this with a stash of other random ephemera I had collected. Pretty decent condition considering its age. Might be worthy of a frame.
