Laff-A-Lympics #3

Laff-A-Lympics #3 was published in 1978 by Marvel Comics as part of a tie-in series to the popular Hanna-Barbera animated television show of the same name. The series brought together various cartoon characters from the studio's catalog, including The Yogi Yahooeys, The Scooby Doobyies, and The Really Rottens, into a frantic, sports-themed competition narrative. It reflects the late 1970s trend of major comic publishers licensing Saturday morning cartoon properties to capture the interest of young television viewers.

The comic featured creative work consistent with the era's house style for licensed animation properties, focusing on slapstick humor and ensemble character dynamics. Designed to be accessible to a younger demographic, the artwork emphasized bold, recognizable character models derived directly from the television animation team's visual language. While these comics were often treated as disposable reading material at the time, they have since become points of interest for collectors focusing on cross-media historical artifacts and the specific history of Hanna-Barbera character adaptations.
