Abstract: "The Someday Funnies" began as a small project by Michel Choquette, a young and ambitious "National Lampoon" editor, in the 1970s. However, the project took on a life of its own and seven years later Choquette found himself $300,000 in debt and with no publishing partner. This title highlights this infamous body of work. 2 Kg.
