Mailing regulations for Disney comic subscriptions

[SRoweCanoe at aol.com]

as I mentioned earlier in this thread, for those of you trying to make  sense 
of the post office regulations - It was the individual postmasters of the  
postoffice who made the determination as to what was acceptable and what  wasnt. 
 
thus  as larry Giver states: " My understanding of the postal  regulations in 
1956 is Disney 
and/or the publisher wanted to make the other  titles eligible for 
subscriptions too.  It seems by then a text story  was not required, but no 
longer could a single 32 page story like US #1 take  up an entire issue, and 
a short second story was required."
 
was true for Western, but not true for DC  who started doing MORE  full 
length (with ad pages) stories with text page (or letter page) around 1956.  and 
wasn't true fr Marvel starting in 1960 (although it might be true for them  too- 
as both DC and Marvel used chapters in their stories up till around 1962 or  
so). 
 
this also explains why some crossword puzzle books had 2nd class postage,  
while some where rejected for 2nd class postage.
