Sick #109

Charlton's irreverent humor magazine Sick kicks off April 1976 with a cover by Frank Roberge that's hard to miss — a wide-eyed, grinning bald baby bursts triumphantly from a gift box, stars flying in every direction, as if the world's most unexpected present just unwrapped itself. Inside, the laughs keep coming with features like "Three Days of the Conjob," a TV parody targeting "Blarney Miller, T.V. Super Sleuth," jungle send-up "Bwana Bruce," and a "Centerfold Ski Spectacular." For fans of sharp, silly satire, this is a fine snapshot of Sick at its most gleefully absurd.
