Illustrated Chips

Illustrated Chips was a children's humour anthology published by Amalgamated Press from 1890 to 1953.

During the war, it moved to a fortnightly schedule due to paper rationing (curiously, when one issue was skipped altogether, the previous edition was labelled "nos. 2,805/2,806", despite having the same length as a single issue).

The Joker merged into it in 1947. Six years later Chips folded into Film Fun.
