!968 Snuffy Smith Sales Kit!

by John Rose

The fun cover of the sales kit brochure.

A bodacious recent eBay find of mine is this 1968 Snuffy Smith Sales Brochure!  It would have been part of a sales kit that King Features Syndicate mailed out to newspapers or gave to newspaper editors personally in 1968 to encourage them to purchase the comic strip.

I really love the character artwork on the interior of the brochure!

The back cover of the brochure.

When you open up this brochure, it folds out even more to become a very large poster filled with about a dozen Snuffy Smith comic strips and more information about the strip in 1968.  Balls O’ Fire–this was truly a bodacious eBay find!
