I had
Mike Weiss's memoirs of writing for them
a couple weeks ago.

He also mentioned in an e-mail having written their parody of
Fantasy Island which was twice as long and when published was completely different, learning the hard way that a writer's credit is often just a courtesy.

The inside back cover was a sampler than said “Humor thy Father and Mother”, also recycled from an issue of
Sick
