ADVERTISERS: Welcome to FUNNIES EXTRA! where we provide readers with 16 Fun-Filled pages of funny Comic Strips, Crosswords, Puzzles and Word Games for kids of all ages! FUNNIES EXTRA! provides Advertisers with compelling reasons to advertise in our comics section. First, your ad is featured in a stand-alone comics section with comics, crosswords, puzzles and word games for kids and adults. Second, readers are in a more positive frame of mind to view your ad when they're smiling and laughing than when they're reading negative news stories or political commentary. FUNNIES EXTRA! is designed to appeal to a wide audience comprised of kids, teens, adults and seniors, and workers from all walks of life such as; stay-at-home moms; business, education and health professionals; Blue Collar workers and your average everyday families. 

FUNNIES EXTRA! is primarily distributed weekly as a stand-alone humor paper in places like Restaurants, Health and Dental Offices, Hospitals, Hotels, Banks, Supermarkets, Auto Service and Repair Shops...just about anywhere people congregate.

FUNNIES EXTRA! can also be distributed with Weekly Newspapers as a new comics section providing advertisers with a fresh, fun, exciting and interactive way to reach consumers. Imagine your ad featured in the front-cover, center-page or back-cover each week, or on the page with your favorite comics strips or puzzles. The comics pages are a great addition to your overall advertising strategy because they provide a more positive advertising environment compared to most newspapers and magazines. 

Originally, comic strips were created to help advertise products and services in a different way. Then a new industry was born as comics were packaged together and became their own section of the paper. Over the years, comics were used primarily to help papers attract and retain readers, rather than just advertise products and services, but here at FUNNIES EXTRA!...we aim to do both!

The Funny Pages of today don't enjoy the freedom of the early days when the strips were much larger and easier to read. Comics were more of a "collectable" back then, but now the Funny Pages are fewer and the comics are smaller. In recent years due to budget cuts, many newspapers have reduced their comics pages or dropped the comics section altogether. As a result, many Editors were forced to make some tough choices on which comics to drop as Newspapers cut back on expenses.
