This July 1963 issue of Hi-Life magazine, subtitled "Articles for Men Only / Humor for Men Only / Fiction for Men Only," contains several serialized men's fiction stories and articles. Featured fiction includes "The Downhill Ride of Fearless Joe Forty" by Michael Zuroy, following a middle-aged motorcycle rider; "The Orient Sexpress," a men's article by Paul Sinner featuring anecdotes from Japan, Formosa, and San Francisco; and "Captain John's Widow" by Theodore Woods, described as maritime fiction. "Cartoccio" presents a photo-essay about an Italian woman named Ada Golaci. Other content includes Harry Schreiner's "Haggard History of the Hangover," examining alcohol's physiological effects and popular remedies; "Piraeus: Party Port of Prostitutes," a men's article by Bernard K. Schram; and cartoons and humor pieces. The issue also advertises Bill Allen's Gambling for Profit, a purported guide to winning at horse-racing, roulette, and other games.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
