Popular Jokes #2

This November 1961 humor digest from Marvel delivers exactly what its title promises, wrapped in a lively cover illustration signed by Jake. The scene captures a mustachioed, big-nosed fellow leaning over a podium toward a glamorous blonde in a red off-the-shoulder dress, surrounded by a crowd of hat-wearing onlookers — and the caption says it all: "Will you scram, please? You're making me promise things I could never make good on!" At just 25 cents, this is a cheerful snapshot of early '60s gag humor in comic form.
