    The Flop Family, a 1947 King Features Syndicate brochure featuring the Flop Family, a humorous family-themed newspaper comic strip created and illustrated by Swan (George Swanson 1897-1981, creator of the Flop Family and Salesman Sam). Includes eight daily strips from 1947, each 8.25-in. x 2.5-in. Promotional brochures were created to introduce newspaper editors to comics and features that were not yet in their papers. 4 pages, 9-in. x 12-in. From the brochure: "There's no need to analyze the Flop Family. You just look and laugh and look for it again tomorrow and laugh some more. A 'Merry Medley' we called it on the front cover--and a merry medley it is. A merry medley of the hundred and one things husbands and wives argue about, of all the foolish things kids do--for which you want to slap them, but love them just the same. The Flop Family is HOME--your home and every reader's home. It is America in shirt sleeves and house dresses. Wherever the Flop Family appears, its fans say--'That's us!' No wonder it is becoming more popular every day! If your readers like to laugh and see the funny side of what may seem very serious to them--give them the Flop Family."
