squire (Sid Lerner and Stan Trachtenberg) - University of Syracuse - February 1951 - 46 pages

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

This is an excellent college parody of Esquire magazine for 1951.  The artwork is very good and the parody articles are just the right length to avoid becoming tedious.  The cover shows the Squire mascot watching television in "Squire's Perfect House" - a main feature of the parody.  Based on a note at the end of the magazine, this is probably the first parody magazine from the Syracuse humor publication.  There are a few good advertisement parodies.  The most interesting one is "Herby Fareyton Cigarettes" that features "Mr. Tar N. Lynch" in his KKK robe.  It is unlikely that such a parody would be published in today's racism-conscious world.  [JAM 7/12/2020]
