This Tom Lehrer song was already eight years old by the time this was printed, but they needed a couple pages to fill.
Here's the song if you haven't heard it
By Bob Tupper in Cabaret volume 2, number 5, September 1956.
This is also from that issue. I know nothing about “Troop” except that he was one of the balloon-breast gag cartoonists in a lot of these magazines. Always looking for more info.

From Cabaret volume 2, number 12, May 1957
From After Hours #4, sometime in the 50s or 60s.
