A well-produced illustrated monthly humor magazine,


containing a mix of the topical, anti-black and anti-semitic

Hopkins, when she was announced as editor. This title's
relationship to Sis Hopkins' Own Book (1899-1911) one of
the progenitors of Film Fun (F9), is unclear. Text illustration

of this very elusive, valuable and important first issue in a
remote automotive magazine shop in Burbank, California. It
was essentially hand-distributed by the publisher. The original
differs form the ubiquitous later repro (which is not obviously
internally identified as such) in a number of ways.
1) It is 1/4" longer.
2) The bottom border is red on the repro and white on the
original.
3) The background of the dateline on the front cover is red on
the repro and white on the original.

With the advent of Ebay, an original issue is offered for sale


about once a year, usually selling for about $1000, depending
upon condition.
