Sick #126, 4 of 4

The final installment of this issue from April 1979. The previous parts are here, here, and here.

Except for the covers, this issue was only TV and movie spoofs, all drawn by the editor Jack Sparling. This was when their publisher Charlton Comics was on its last legs, their pay rate was at its lowest (and it showed), and most of their books were reprints. Rumor has it some contributors were just paid with contributor copies.

Here's their version of Rhoda

And here's their parody of One Day at a Time, which makes no references to the show and could just be a story with any characters.

At this point, they didn't even bother to do a pun on the show title for their parody of Alice.

As a kid, there were always peanut jokes about Jimmy Carter, like pictures of him being drawn as a peanut or serving peanuts in the White House. This was all most people my age knew about him, with political policy beyond our understanding and/or shielded from us. It's only recently that I've known what the peanut association was about.
