About the series
From 1956 to 1965, Dell’s For Laughing Out Loud delivered 35 issues of gentle, gag-a-page humor, a reliable newsstand staple for a decade. The series was a showcase for cartoonists like Gahan Wilson, whose early, signed work appeared alongside regulars Ton Smits, John Gallagher, and Bob Schroeter, with Michael Berry and Gallagher providing the bulk of the art. It mattered as a steady home for the kind of polished, single-panel comedy that defined mid-century American cartooning.
