Old Judge Humor Found in an old magazine

Barry, I did indeed....I got issues #24, 25, 28 (two of them), 29 and 30. There were some Mad like magazines in the lot besides "Ballyhoo", there were two issues of "Snafu" and two issues of "Crazy, Man, Crazy". They'll all hit ebay, but I have to read 'em first.

Those were the glory days of Mad...and issue #24 should garner a nice premium. You have the best antique markets in your neck of the woods.

Dan- did you get the 1956 issue with Mantle on the cover? That's a good one too.

Nope...didn't know there was a Mad magazine with Mantle on it. I'd like to see that one.

It's a Fall 1956 issue, with a very busy cartoon on the cover jammed with a few dozen famous personalities...including the Mick. I actually thought it was issue #30, but I guess I'm wrong.

Barry, actually you're almost right....Issue #30 has Alfred E. Neuman on the cover, but on the back cover I do see Mickey Mantle in the crowd of personalities....if you hadn't mentioned it I might not have even noticed.

Then that's it... I just went on ebay and saw cover #27, which has Casey Stengel and some other baseball personalities. So Mantle is on the back cover...still pretty cool.

Those captions are great. Thanks for sharing..
