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?

not your father's SATURDAY EVENING POST...well. actually they were his, but it's just an expression

A while ago I posted ESQUIRE's parody of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, and how they were trying to update their image. Mike Lynch posted what they were doing in the 40s and 50s , and here are a few cartoons from issues a decade later.

These are from December 4, 1963 (their JFK memorial issue).


Those with knowledge of gag cartoonists might be able to spot the inside joke here.




Now we go back to SEP's attempt to be more hip in 1968.
