For Laughing Out Loud #20

Michael Berry's cover sets the playful tone perfectly: a flustered fellow is completely boxed in by a towering stack of striped gift packages, while a glamorous blonde in a white dress and jaunty blue hat looks on with breezy amusement. It's a wonderfully breezy snapshot of Dell's digest-sized humor magazine in 1961, promising laughs from Robert Fontaine's "Lady Godiva" and a "Forever Funny" tribute to Will Rogers inside.
