Humour Magazine Bound Vol. No. 77 (1947) | Australian Cartoons & Satire

Bound Volume No. 77 – 1947

A scarce bound volume of Humour magazine, compiling five original issues from early 1947, produced in Australia and featuring classic mid-century cartoons, jokes, and short humour pieces.

This volume includes issues dated February–March 1947, with bold illustrated covers, period advertising, and extensive black-and-white cartoon content reflecting post-war Australian social life, sport, domestic scenes, and popular culture.

Notable features include:

• Large-format cartoon covers

• Cricket and sporting humour (“Ow’ Zat!” cover)

• Domestic and retail satire

• International humour reprints alongside Australian work

• Signed cartoons by artists including George Wallace Jr.

Originally sold as “5 numbers in one volume”, these bound editions were intended for longer-term keeping and are now far harder to find than loose issues.

A strong piece for collectors of:

• Australian magazine history

• Cartoon and illustration

• Post-war print culture

• Sporting and social satire
