Noo Yawker (J. Arthur Stover) - Penn State Froth - March 22, 1947 - 32 pages

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

This parody of The New Yorker consists of 12 pages (including the cover) within the pages of the Penn State monthly humor magazine.  The cover shows a bespectacled woman in a blue dress dancing with flowers.   These pages look like the popular magazine but the humor is lacking.  There are six unusual New Yorker-like cartoon that I suppose pass for funny on campus in 1947.  The parody poke fun at the New York calendar, "The Talk of the Town" and three essays about Penn State personalities.  In "Horatius Returns", writer Stephen Sinichak sums up the Penn State experience as "... days of football, cokes, coeds and cows!"

A better parody in the same issue is The Dilly Collision, a four-page spoof of the local campus newspaper, The Daily Collegian.  The paper is just silly with misspelled words and nonsense phrases including the misadventures of fictional "notorious, collegiate politician, Ufiend Pullmer."  The calendar on "page too" notes that the "WRA Bowling Club" will meet at the "White Hall Swimming Pool" at "3-1/2 a.m." on "Sunday, Feb. 31" and stuff like that.  The managing editor of The Dilly Collision is "Wotta Bum."  There is also a tip "for that tired feeling" which is "sit the hell down."  Such are the laughs from the Froth.
