For Laughing Out Loud #29

This December 1963 Dell digest delivers more than 200 funny cartoons, jokes, and stories — and Gahan Wilson's cover sets the tone perfectly, showing a wide-eyed figure in an orange snowsuit being lifted helplessly into the sky by an enormous flock of colorful birds, each one clutching a string. Wilson's delightfully deadpan sense of the absurd is right at home here, and featured pieces like "Christmas at the Analyst's" hint at the wonderfully offbeat humor packed inside.
