Little Audrey TV Funtime #24

Trivia · 8 facts

• Published August 1969 by Harvey Comics as part of the Little Audrey TV Funtime ongoing series (vol. 1, #24).
• The series ran 33 issues in total, from September 1962 through October 1971, making #24 a late-middle entry with nine issues remaining.
• Like all issues in the TV Funtime run, #24 was a 64-page, full-color giant — substantially larger than the standard 32-page Harvey comic of the era.
• The issue contained a mix of new stories and reprints of earlier Little Audrey comics, consistent with the anthology approach Harvey used across the TV Funtime run.
• Interior art on issues of this period was produced by Warren Kremer, Ernie Colón, and Jacqueline Roettcher, the core creative team for Harvey's Audrey books at the time.
• Little Audrey (full name Audrey Smith) originated in Paramount/Famous Studios animation in 1947 and was conceived as a replacement for Little Lulu after Paramount lost that license; Harvey acquired full rights to the character in 1958.
• The 'TV Funtime' branding directly referenced the character's television presence via syndicated cartoon packages broadcast in the early 1960s, a cross-media hook Harvey used to market the title.
• Harvey Comics did not credit individual writers or artists on its indicia during this period; creator attributions for specific issues have been identified only through later collector and historian research.
