Hooey Annual

From 1932 to 1942, Fawcett's Hooey Annual delivered a dozen issues of lighthearted, gag-driven comic relief, with Chester I. Garde and James Trembath among the artists most frequently associated with its run. A seasonal staple of the publisher's lineup, the annual offered a digest of humor strips and single-panel jokes, providing a cheerful counterpoint to the era's more action-oriented fare. Its straightforward, unpretentious comedy captures a slice of pre-war American cartooning.
