The final 1000 Jokes

These are the last of the 1000 jokes in this magazine.

Actually, I don't think there were exactly 1000 jokes in this magazine. It was just called 1000 Jokes. It's like that movie Used Cars where they had to prove in court they actually had “miles of cars” though the editors of this magazine are probably dead now, so they wouldn't be able to prove the quantity of jokes they had in the magazine.

I don't get this cartoon by Paul Peter Porges. Is it that it's hot outside and you wouldn't see a priest in shorts?

1000 Jokes, give or take a few

These are more of the cartoons that were in this one issue of Dell's 1000 Jokes magazine, sometime in the late 50s or early 60s.

A lot of these cartoonists sold gags to nudie magazines, so it's possible they may have sold some of their rejects to other magazines.

Since this cartoon references something mainstream, this probably doesn't count as a “nudie” cartoon, though.

This was supposed to have been up a couple days ago but I chose early July to come to my parents' house. The reason this has anything to do with anything is that a storm knocked out their internet and it won't be back for a week or so. I can only use it for an hour or so at this local restaurant that has wi-fi service, longer when the library's open, even then only during daytime. My parents seem to think the internet is just a toy I use like one would watch TV. It's also the way I get paid from some places. Their scanner is wireless so I can't use that either. Luckily I scanned these cartoons a while ago. Who says we're not living on the cutting edge of technology?

Anyway, this is none of your concern. Here is the next installment of cartoons from an issue of 1000 Jokes from sometime in the 50s or 60s. I posted the first few pages of 1000 Jokes last week.
