America's Cartoonists Help to Sell U.S. Savings Bonds

Don't forget to buy U.S. Savings Bonds. I see some of the characters on the covers but not in strips on the inside. That means their creators obviously hated America. And if you don't you do too.

Commie asshole.

THIS MAGAZINE IS CRAZY, part 1 of 4

Here's another imitation of MAD called CRAZY. Actually, the official title was THIS MAGAZINE IS CRAZY. This was the last format the magazine went through. In the late fifties it seems nobody knew what format MAD was going to take but knew it was a hit and had to cash in on its success.

The Loan Arranger and other stuff

I thought I'd post the remainder of the issues of GOOSE I have xeroxes of. These are from issues 2 and 3 in 1976 or so and done anonymously.

It was kind of like MAD except dirty. I think it was people who worked on magazines like CRAZY and SICK letting off steam.






Normally I don't appreciate self-parody. Sometimes it can be funny, I just don't like the idea of it. This is sort of interesting though. Here's a parody of THEY'LL DO IT EVERY TIME by Al Scaduto, the artist of that strip. I picture him thinking of the strip "the way I'd really like to do it".




Now that you're done with that, please take our survey.
