1000 Jokes

From risqué cartoons we go the opposite way...Wait! Where are you going? Come back!... with cartoons from 1000 Jokes magazine, this one dated sometime in the 50s or 60s. I haven't counted to see if each issue of the magazine literally contained 1000 jokes, but I think the statute of limitations for any potential lawsuit about this has run out by now.

The cover usually had a caricature of a comedian of the time and a small article credited to them. We all probably remember Charley Weaver as a panelist on Hollywood Squares. The illustration is by Edmond Kiraz.

How many of these books do you own? I have two.

I missed a lot of information on some of these cartoonists, so any holes filled are welcome.
