It's a Fact (1940) comic books 1940

Booklet published by the Mississippi Board of Development containing "a collection of cartoons presenting information" about the state. Most are straightforward historical facts and statistical information in roughly a Ripley's Believe It or Not single-panel design format, but with additional commentary on each page. A few pieces of information do seem somewhat disturbing, such as the note that between 1910 and 1930, there was "an increase of less than 1/20 of one percent [of the Negro population], while the white population increased more than 27% in the two decades." Apparently the Mississippi Board of Development was proud of this statistic and thought it represented "momentous achievement" and/or "progress" pertaining to the state. 5.5-in. x 8.5-in.; black and white (actually printed on light green paper); 48 pages; heavier card-stock cover; no date (1940s?).
