    Good stuff, thanks for posting it.
    I have a question related to the humor magazines you're covering. There's a cartoonist named Frank Cummings who lives in my town and I've heard he used to do work for CRACKED. (He also contributed to JAB, a regional humor magazine from c. early 90s.) But I don't know which issues of CRACKED it was, and I never see old CRACKED back issues for sale. Wondering if you're aware of his work. I've seen him draw quick doodles that are really great so I'm curious about his published work.

    The name sounded familiar. Turns out he's in one of the issues I'm selling on E-bay.

    If you have a link I'll buy it, especially if you have some other interesting stuff that I can bundle with it to make s&h worthwhile.
