Oojah was an Elephant comic strip character as featured in the Daily Sketch Newspaper and various children's books. Uncle Oojah (originally known as Flip Flap, The Great Oojah) first appeared in the Daily Sketch on 18 Feb 1919. He subsequently appeared in annuals such as 'The Once Upon a Time Children's Annual' 1920 and 1921 and 'The Joy Book Annual' 1922. He also appeared in the Twilight Series for Little Folks published by McClelland and Stewart in 1920 including 'Flip Flap The Great Oojah', 'The Children of Funbeam' and 'The Pigmy Pirates'.

By 1922/23 he had his own annual which continued through until 1951 with a few gaps during the war years. There was also an Oojah comic strip and between 1921 and 1929 an Oojah supplement in The Daily Sketch, initially running to four pages each Saturday. Oojah was revived in the Jack and Jill Annuals in the 1950s but bore little relation to the original character of the early 1920s and played second fiddle to his nephew, Jerry. 

The stories were written for over 30 years by Flo Lancaster. They were illustrated by Thomas Maybank until his death in 1929. H.M.Tallintyre took over as illustrator from then on.

This of unknown date but thought to be 1940's shows some young hand colouring and Uncle Oojah as doorman at the cinema. Red cloth spine. Two-tone pictures throughout. 100 pages. First story is "Uncle Oojah's Curious Cousin".
