Humor Titles - 1969

Humor Titles - 1967

Poor Fox and Crow--they don't even get to appear in an ad for their own book!

Happy! Hilarious! Hep! - 1969

I've always wondered--why did DC try and market these Archie knockoffs (I don't mean that as a knock, but let's be honest) as "hip" titles? Did they really think hippies or kids who were buying Exile on Main Street or Blonde on Blonde were buying these kinds of comics?

Scooter Summer Fun - 1969

Binky's Buddies / Scooter - 1970

I found this ad in an old issue of The Phantom Stranger. I wonder--was there any crossover audience between these books and PS?

Oh, and I guess one could suggest the Binky cover has some sort of sexual subtext. But as Sigmund Freud once said: "A water hose joke is sometimes just a water hose joke."
