Popular Jokes #16

This February 1965 humor digest from Marvel delivers exactly what its subtitle promises — "Gems of Mirth, Laughter, Humor, and Fun." The cover previews a lively sampler of cartoon gags: bewildered cows on a ranch ("New here, isn't he?"), a trio of scientists puzzling over something peculiar in Atomic Laboratory No. 38, a crowd of onlookers at what appears to be a medical or circus spectacle ("I was wondering what made him tick!"), and a hapless figure perched on a precarious ledge. At just 25 cents, it's a cheerful snapshot of mid-sixties comic humor packed into one compact package.
