	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Famous Funnies
		Famous Funnies has the reputation of having been the first comic book.
		Famous Funnies was the brainchild of Maxwell C. Gaines, who, like a great many Americans of the time, badly needed income.
		Famous Funnies outlasted most of its comics-reprinting competitors, including Popular Comics (Smilin' Jack, Terry & the Pirates), King Comics (Popeye, The Little King) and Sparkler Comics (Nancy, The Captain & the Kids).

		Again, she Funnies bade me fling myself into the cavern of Cabra- an unparalleled and awful peril- and bring her a minute account of all that is Comic concealed in those gloomy depths.
		Funnies I stopped the motion of the Giralda, I lifted the bulls of Guisando, I flung myself into the cavern and brought to light the secrets of its abyss; and my hopes are as dead as dead can be, and her scorn and her commands as Funnies lively as ever.

		It is the famous severed snake that represents the United States with the legend "Join, or Die." Benjamin Franklin created so many things that are still in common use today; however, its very doubtful that he knew he would be the pioneer for comic books.
		One year later "Famous Funnies" began its twice a month printing and distribution routine through news stands; however, it took several issues before Eastern Color Printing saw any profit.
		The path from "funnies" to graphic novels was a slow one that only took place because their were a few creators out there that said "Let's try something new." Prince Namor was a clear example of this.

		Most publishers were experimenting with the form in the '30s, and the next breakthrough was Funnies on Parade (1933), the first standard-size comic book (filled with comic-strip reprints), available for coupons clipped from Proctor and Gamble products.
		Finally, Eastman produced the all-new Famous Funnies (1934), widely recognized as the first true "comic book," as it was produced solely for its own sake and distributed like a magazine.
		And not everybody was looking at "the funnies" as the only genre for this new mass medium.

		FDR was inaugurated, Hitler became chancellor of Germany, television was patented, and an unemployed Jewish novelty salesman named Max Gaines (née Max Ginzberg) was pondering how on earth he would be able to feed his wife Jessie and their two young children, who were living with him at his mother's house in the Bronx.
		ECP followed in May with Famous Funnies #1, Series 2, the first monthly comic book to be sold on newsstands.
		Like Famous Funnies, Popular Comics material consisted of reprinted color newspaper strips--old favorites like Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, and Gasoline Alley--but Gaines made sure his reprints were brighter.
