Sick #85, 2 of 3

Counting the number of dated gags here is like those games they have at carnivals where you have to guess the amount of jelly beans are in a jar. The following pages are from Sick #85 From August 1971. The previous few were posted last week here.

This piece was drawn by Jack Sparling

These were some of the celebrities of the time. Only two are still alive today.

More borderline kiddie porn (though technically Little Orphan Annie was in her 30s)

Like I said last week. The budget didn't seem to allow for much new artwork, as noted by using art from other articles.

Bonus: See if you can guess what would be illegal here. Hint: The very same thing was in the news this very week (I believe I'm in the clear since everyone involved is now dead.)

John Costanza

The Andromeda Strain

Whack #3, 1 of 2

Every comics publisher the 50s had dozens of humor comics modeled after Mad that only lasted three issues or so. St. John had Whack, the second issue of which I posted a few years ago. This one is from May 1954.

This parody of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was drawn by Norman Maurer

Parody of Little Orphan Annie by Carl Hubbell.

Yet another parody of Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

FRENZY #6, 1 of 4

FRENZY was another one of those black and white juvenile humor magazines. They did six issues in the late fifties. The late fifties saw the debut of a lot of these. I can't tell if there were more in the fifties or more in the seventies.

This Martian Ernie Kovacs person looks like he was probably the magazine's mascot.


The publisher here is Adrian Lopez who later published HARPOON. The contributors didn't get credited in the masthead. I can't say whether or not it was by choice.




Parody of the Viceroy ad campaign.
