About the series
Produced by the Gulf Oil Company from 1933 to 1941, Gulf Funny Weekly was a promotional comic giveaway that ran for 418 issues, blending lighthearted humor with the era's corporate advertising. Stan Schendel, sometimes writing and drawing under the pseudonym Vic Tor, was the series' most prolific talent, often joined by artist Fred Meagher. As a free newspaper-insert distributed at Gulf service stations, it offered a unique glimpse into Depression-era marketing through comics, making it a curious artifact of how major brands used the medium to reach a mass audience before the superhero boom.
