MAKING THE FUNNIES

A small boy who wants Dad to read him the funnies from his doorstep and wakes Mom and Dad to get them read to him. Shots of all sorts of people reading the funnies. Then Walter Berndt, Milton Caniff, William Holman, Harold Gray and Russell Patterns are each shown at work creating the cartoons for which each is famous. The last part of the film shows how the printing, stacking and delivering is accomplished.
