Sick #48, 2 of 3

From Sick #48 in November 1966. The previous few pages are available through this link.

The contents page describes this article thusly: “More SICK limericks, this time pertaining to different types of jobs—which the writer of these limericks will no doubt be looking for soon!

“These limericks are unusual in that they're written in blank verse—each verse rhymes but leaves you blank!”

I'm not sure I understand what they're trying to say. If the point is that one superstition is no different from another, I'd agree, but I have the feeling in this strip they think the missionary is the superior one.

Crazy #7, 1 of 2

Man, dig this seventh issue of Crazy. The last one under Marvel's Atlas banner in the 50's. This issue was published in July 1954.

It was probably all written by Stan Lee
parody of Hondo drawn by Carl Hubbell.
Al Hartley
Jack Brown. Too common a name for me to do an internet search on him.

Snafu #2, 4 of 4

And here we are with the final installment of Snafu, one of Marvel's many attempts underone of their tax shelter companies, to cash in on the success of Mad. This issue, written entirely by Stan Lee, is dated January 1956.

This piece, like everything here, is drawn by Joe Maneely
They did a lot of one-pagers like this to pad the issue.
