Obscurity of the Day: Sunday Morning Giggles
Here's a rarity that ran only in the New York Herald-Tribune. We've talked about the H-T's filler strips on several occasions (here and here and here and here for instance). None ran every week, but rather only when ads dictated that a sixth-page slot was left open.
Sunday Morning Giggles is one of the last of the breed, and has the distinction of being the last new filler title to start in the H-T, though it is not the last to run; that distinction belongs to another Henry Boltinoff feature, Sergeant Fumble. Sunday Morning Giggles, a gag feature offering multiple yocks on a common subject, ran only three times between February 26 and October 7 1956.
