Esqueer (Sam Vaughan) - Penn State Froth - March 1951 - 52 pages

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

This parody of Esquire starts slowly with tiny type and wordy articles but then gets much better after the main articles.  The big joke here is the "continuing" stories from other places.  There are nine of these continuing stories starting on page 28 with "The Masher (continued from Grim Ferry Tales").  Others are "Taken for a Ride (continued from 'Sporty Detective')", "Old Bill Swims the Atlantic (continued from The New York Times)", "Nightmare (continued from the Great Beyond)", "Belly Up (continued from the Koran)", "The Isle of Glug-Glug (continued from 'The Saturday Evening Most')" [the 1950 Penn State Froth magazine parody], "Gal (continued from Who's in the News)", "Club 21 (continued from hunger)" [consisting of 24 fly-in-my-soup jokes], and "(continued from nowhere)".  All nine of these "continued" stories have no beginning to be found.  In addition, the back half of the magazine is flooded with advertisement parodies for various items including Joe McCarthy's red herrings, monocles, Garfunkle's Elixir, Third Sex Clothing, Four Noses Distilling, Louse B. Hershey fortunes ("mail your palm in today"), and plastic surgery ("mail to United Nations").  The best Froth jokes are in the fine print.  [JAM 8/18/2015]
