The Hot Shoppes Boys and Girls Magazine

A short-lived but charming promotional comic from the mid-1960s, The Hot Shoppes Boys and Girls Magazine was a two-issue giveaway from the Hot Shoppes restaurant chain, blending light entertainment with wholesome values. Produced by the chain's own in-house team, it offered a mix of comic strips, puzzles, and stories aimed at young diners. Though brief, it stands as a curious artifact of mid-century American commercial publishing and restaurant culture.
