Sick #30, 3 of 3

The last of this issue of Sick from August 1964. I forgot to post this last week but the other two parts are here and here.

Instead of movie parodies as a comic like Mad did, they would do a plot summary with text and photos, like with their parody of From Russia, With Love

The contents page says:”From Russia With Love”, the new James Bond movie... “What's your name, stranger?” “My name is 007” “Funny, you don't look Italian”... Talking about “Russia” and “Love”, and “From”, and “With”, Krushchev had his birthday and had a party, the Communist Party...
The Air Force in Germany kept telling us to train our planes clear of the 70-mile zone on the East Berlin border. The orders go on to say that in case of overflights, if the planes are attacked by Red fighters, they should be sure to dispose of all cameras, film, and other spy equipment... President Eisenhower said if he saw a Russian plane over U. S. territory,he would have had it shot down. Unfortunately while he was President, no Russian plane ever flew over a U. S. golf course

Sick #30, 1 of 3

This was the 30th issue of Sick from August 1964.

Like most issues early on, the covers were by Jack Davis
Like most comedians at the time, they did jokes about how the Beatles had long hair. This was considered long then.
Art (as is for most of this post) by Angelo Torres
According to the contents page:

Virginia Graham asks “Is it true that you wear rubber bands on your stockings and garters too?” Nina: “Yes, the garters hold my stockings up. The rubber bands are just for show.”

In the contents:

President Johnson has been reported speeding on the highway near the LBJ ranch. This lead the National Safety Council to issue a warning to Texas Motorists: “Drive carefully—the life you save—may be your President's...Advertising Section...Commercials for Presidential candidates... Richard Nixon made a trip to Viet Nam leading many to believe that his campaign slogan might be: “If elected I'll go to Viet Nam” The question is—will he stay there?
