Jumping around through all my issues of Sick, here's number 112 from October 1976.
Right after Jawsmade drive-in fare into big-budget releases, Hollywood saw the “popcorn” film as the new standard, and one of the anticipated releases was the King Kong remake later that year.

I put a lot of humor magazines up but haven't put up many from before 1970 lately because Ger Apeldoorn is planning to start a new blog based on his book Behaving Mad-ly, for which I may be contributing occasionally. The book didn't have nearly enough room to cover everything and they couldn't trace all copyrights for print, so that's where the blog comes in. He has all the magazines, and displays all sorts of other comics ephemera on his blog The Fabulous Fifties.

femini...

I wonder if he was bitter that years later there actually were blooper shows (one of which was co-incidentally hosted by Rickles).
