Sick #31, 3 of 3

We come to the end of this issue of Sick from September 1964, which is easier for me to write captions for this week since there are only three artists and less reference.

Art here by Angelo Torres

Gray Morrow

Spoof of Burke's Law by \George Tuska

This was the original art for that.

Sick #31, 1 of 3

Here was America at its Sickest in September 1964. Under a cover by Jack Davis.

Surfing the internet, you can sometimes find the originals for some things, like this here.

In this piece by Paul Laikin and Gray Morrow, the contents page says:

They made a complete fuss about Shakespeare's birthday, but completely overlooked Longfellow's birthday, No party, no gifts, not even a card... Well, Henry Wadsworth, we haven't forgotten. You may not be as big as Shakespeare, but remember you haven't been as dead as long either. Wait a few years...

Contents again:Motlotlehi Moshoeshoe 2nd, the paramount chief of Basutoland in the future would be known as Lesotho. It's about time they changed the name. We wondered why they waited so long. It will open up a new world for Basutoland. Lesotho is more concise, easier to remember and more authoritative. So, congratulations, Basutoland—we mean Lesotho. Now if Motlotlehi Moshoeshoe will change his name, that will really swing.You can't count too heavily on write-ins..

Cartoons by Bob Tupper,Bob Weber, and others.

Sick #30, 2 of 3

This is number 30 of Sick from August 1964. The first pat can be found here.

Continuation of last week's news, art by Angelo Torres.

This has art by Bob Powell. According to the contents page:
More fighting broke out between troops of Ethiopia and Somalia over the disputed border. This war could lead to minor trouble because the border in question belongs to either Jordan or Israel.

Sick #30, 1 of 3

This was the 30th issue of Sick from August 1964.

Like most issues early on, the covers were by Jack Davis

Like most comedians at the time, they did jokes about how the Beatles had long hair. This was considered long then.

Art (as is for most of this post) by Angelo Torres

According to the contents page:

Virginia Graham asks “Is it true that you wear rubber bands on your stockings and garters too?” Nina: “Yes, the garters hold my stockings up. The rubber bands are just for show.”

In the contents:

President Johnson has been reported speeding on the highway near the LBJ ranch. This lead the National Safety Council to issue a warning to Texas Motorists: “Drive carefully—the life you save—may be your President's...Advertising Section...Commercials for Presidential candidates... Richard Nixon made a trip to Viet Nam leading many to believe that his campaign slogan might be: “If elected I'll go to Viet Nam” The question is—will he stay there?
