Popular Jokes #21

The May 1966 issue of Popular Jokes — Marvel's "Cartoon Entertainment Magazine" — delivers a genuinely funny cover gag: a pipe-smoking fisherman in a red plaid jacket wades through a stream while carrying a startled blonde woman over his shoulder, her hook apparently snagged somewhere uncomfortable, as the speech bubble quips, "What a heck of a place to carry fish hooks… in your hip pocket!" Inside, you can look forward to features like "The Motorooters," "Business A-Go-Go," "Bon Vivant Les Girls," and more. For a quarter in 1966, this was a cheerful package of cartoon humor that didn't take itself too seriously — and that's exactly the point.
