Popular Jokes #47

This cheerful 1973 digest from Marvel's humor line delivers exactly what its bold cover promises — a "Cartoon Laugh Riot" sampled right on the front page through four lively panel previews. The vignettes range from a mechanic mishap at a roadside mailbox to a glamorous blonde perched on a chaise while a chess-playing gentleman gets roasted, plus a cozy couch scene with a private-eye phone call and a pink-tinted gag about asking the wrong question outside a fancy door. At 40 cents, it's a breezy snapshot of the era's light, lounge-comedy sensibility packed with snappy one-liners before you even crack the cover.
