Pelican Funnies

Pelican Funnies, a National Sport one-shot from 1947, is a curious artifact of postwar comic book publishing—a single-issue experiment that blends sports-themed humor with the anthology format. Though it never continued beyond that initial release, the title offers a snapshot of the era's lighter, genre-driven fare, carried by the creative team of the time. Its brevity makes it a footnote, but for collectors of niche publisher oddities, it's a quiet testament to the industry's willingness to test the waters with a one-and-done concept.
