I thought I'd try using a fountain pen, so I used my father's. It was a fountain pen, but a calligraphy pen, and it showed.

Shaft, January 1954

College humor anthologies always have "before they were famous" mentions, and Mark Newgarden once compiled a list for Comics Comics of people who initially wanted to be cartoonists, but were more successful at what they became better known for. Here's one...

Here's another imitation of MAD when it became a magazine. Marvel/Atlas/Timely had a bunch of imitations of MAD the comic, but once it switched formats, they followed suit. While there have been a bunch of imitations over the years, this is one of the few to imitate Kurtzman's brief reign. It has two-color covers, text pieces, a higher page count, and captions instead of balloons in its comics, all of which disappeared from MAD after a few issues, and became the version most known.

This is taken from the first issue in November 1955 and written by Stan Lee.

Other sound effects were NOOT (a bowling ball dropping on someone), MEELSNOOB (an iron dropping on someone), PLINE (an alligator dropping on someone), and PLANT (a potted plant being dropped on someone)
