Comical Funnies #1 1980 / Peter Bagge, John Holmstrom, Kaz / VF- 7.5

Comical Funnies was a comics newspaper co-published by Peter Bagge and John Holmstrom. Holmstrom, who gained fame with his publication of Punkmagazine, was asked by the cartoonist newcomer Bagge how to get published. Holmstrom suggested the easiest way was to launch their own publication, and Comical Funnies was born.Though only three issues were published over the course of the next couple years,Comical Funnies led to the publication of The Wacky World of Peter Bagge/Ken Weiner,which led to Bagge working on Robert Crumb's Weirdo magazine and to the formation of STOP! Aside from Holmstrom and Bagge, contributors to Comical Funnies included Ken Weiner, Bruce Carleton, Patricia Ragan, Douglas Bagge, Judy Wilmot, Josh Alan and Drew Friedman, Jeff Tiedrich and Kaz.

This copy of Comical Funnies #1, featuring characters that would later become famous in Peter Bagge's Hate comic-book serial, has been stored flat in an oversize bag for decades and it will ship flat to you in a 18 x 12 x 1" cardboard box with bubble wrap. I have conservatively graded it at FN/VF 7.0. No combined shipping for this odd-size item.
I am not a professional grader but attempt to grade books based on standard Overstreet guidelines. My grading is fairly conservative, particularly at the high end of the spectrum, but your grading may be more conservative. I can only say that I try to be consistent and you will likely find that my grades are within at least one full grade of your own.
SHIPPING: I don't ship comics by Media Mail anymore. It's just too risky, as USPS has become more vigilant about checking and restricting Media Mail. The last thing you want is to receive a notice that your shipment is available at the Post Office but there is postage due for retail ground shipping costs because the package did not qualify for Media Mail. I would refund your costs, of course, but it ends up being a big hassle for both you and me. FIRST CLASS MAIL: I can ship up to 4 or 5 standard comic books (or 1 or 2 typical comic magazines) by first-class package in a lightweight box with padding. This is a great, economic, quick and safe way to ship comics. I also use boxes instead of envelopes for more expensive single books, slabs and magazines. Above 4 or 5 comic books or 1 or 2 comic magazines, things are too heavy for first-class mail.RETAIL GROUND, FEDEX and PRIORITY MAIL: For 5 or more comic books or 2 or more magazines (sometimes even 1 magazine if it's really heavy), I offer options for USPS Parcel Select Ground, FedEx SmartPost, FedEx Ground, or Priority Mail. I use calculated shipping because it's the cheapest method for buyers. I offer the maximum of 4 options because different methods will be cheaper for different zones. With larger quantities, it's cheaper to go with flat-rate Priority Mail. I set a maximum of $11.99 on shipping (less than my discounted cost) for most listings. Larger sets of comic books will be shipped in sturdy boxes with padding and I will offer plenty of options. COMBINED SHIPPING: Under most circumstances, I will combine shipping for multiple wins. Combined shipping discounts are automatically applied for listings that are eligible for my promotional shipping rule. I will also combine shipping with large sets even though will not automatically calculate the combined shipping cost. Just contact me or wait until I get a chance to send you a new invoice with combined shipping discounts. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: As a standard practice, I ship to the United States only. International locations may contact me prior to close of offerding to arrange a special exception and shipping cost. If you do not contact me before close of offerding, no exception will be made. International shipping is a pain (including 's Global Shipping program) and I try to avoid it at all costs.
