One day, I would like to write an article about the history of funny photo strips. I am especially interested in the period around 1960, when Lou Silverstein's TeeVee Jeebies in Playboy inspired Stan Lee, Harvey Kurtzman and Gerald Gardner do do their own version of photo's with funny balloons. There had been photo's with funny captions before that, name this unknown but long running newspaper series, Small Talk. After that I have one of the last examples of the genre, Stan Lee's short running daily political photo strip Says Who? from the late seventies. See the comments for new information.

Out The Mouth Of Babes
Monday Cartoon Day.
Here's a real oddity. I know I won't be making any friends with it, but I just had to share. I don't trust the dates I have one them, some typos must have occurred. It seems this feature started in 1956 and ran until somewhere in 1958 or 1960.
Of course the real Mad fans will tell you that all of this was done years before when Harvey Kurtman did a feature with funny babies in the early Mad comic. And to prove no idea is totally original, I am adding yet an earlier sample of thi idea: Baby Banters from 1947.
