Popular Jokes #45

This August 1972 issue of Marvel's Popular Jokes delivers exactly what its cover promises — "over 200 toptickle cartoons, funpower, girls!" The cover showcases a lively sampler of gag cartoons: a smooth-talking man presenting a ring to a blonde on a sofa, a hapless driver facing a police officer beside a dented yellow car, a shoe-store scene with a sharply dressed salesman and a glamorous red-dressed brunette, and a sandwich-board prophet being cheerfully ignored. At 40 cents, it's a lighthearted slice of early-'70s humor magazine culture that wears its "fresh and breezy entertainment" motto right on its sleeve.
