Best Cartoons from Escapade

A lighthearted anthology from the mid-1960s, Best Cartoons from Escapade collected the cheeky, single-panel humor that had previously appeared in the men's magazine Escapade, published by Bruce-Royal. Running for eleven issues between 1963 and 1968, the series showcased the gag cartoonists of the era without focusing on any single star talent. It mattered as a digest of the risqué, Mad-magazine-influenced style that thrived on newsstands before the underground comix revolution.
