Mad House Ma-ad Jokes #70

Mad House Ma-ad Jokes #70 captures the counterculture comedy Archie does so well, with Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils depicting a groovy character in a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and floral shirt sitting dejectedly on a stool amid a sea of protest signs — "Down With," "Abolish," "I Protest" — while two teens carrying guitars look on and quip that poor Bippy "can't think of a single thing to protest!" Inside, Gus Lemoine's art and Bill Yoshida's lettering bring the laughs in "The Voice!" and more all-new jokes. For fifteen cents in 1969, this issue skewers the protest-sign era with exactly the kind of breezy, good-natured wit that made the Archie series a staple of the funny rack.
