Preyboy (Harry Shearer) - UCLA Satyr - June 1964 - 38 pages

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

Actor/comedian/writer/singer/voiceover artist Harry Shearer was the editor of the UCLA humor publication.  This Playboy parody is his final work for the college.  His editorial ("at random") laments the demise of college humor publications in particular, and all humor magazines in general.  This final editorial also serves as a brief history of the college magazines and their difficulties with censorship by the various administrations.  For the parody issue, Shearer wrote Preyboy ad parodies, "Dear Preyboy", "The Preyboy Philosophy", "Fffffer", "Preyboy's Partly Jokes", "Fair-Hared Bunny" and "Little Funnie Bunny" (with drawings by Hank Hinton).  The primary fiction parody of the issue ("Smelter Me, Tenderly" by Steve White) serves as a major genre of fiction typically found in the Playboy of the 1960s.  The following passage from SMT captures the tongue-in-cheek attitude of Shearer's finale.

"He turned to leave, but Wella was screaming and clawing again so, holding the formula between his teeth, he lowered his bulky steel-muscled masculine form onto her petite Bessemer Blast Furnace and the two of them smeltered into the raw pig iron of their impassioned, melting dual fulfillment and forged themselves into the Atlas missile of their desire, blasting off into the stellar orbit of their flaming capsular re-entry, or something like that."

Preyboy lampoons Hugh Hefner at every opportunity, especially with the "616th part of a magnum opus" ("Preyboy Philosophy") and the excellent, four-page "Liitle Funnie Bunny" parody of Harvey Kurtzman's Little Annie Fanny.  But, Shearer was correct about the passing of college humor magazines with Harvard Lampoon being the lone exception.  [JAM 4/2/2016]
