You know you're a baby boomer...
...if you recognize all the celebs in this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Spoof #5 (1973)!
Snoopy from the Peanuts comic strip!
Julia Child, one of the first TV chefs!
ABC sports announcer (and really annoying guy who deserves his fate) Howard Cosell!
And, finally...longtime comedy icon Bob Hope, whose annual tours to entertain our troops overseas are satirized!
Written by Marv Wolfman, penciled by master (or is that "mistress") caricaturist Marie Severin, and inked by John Costanza (a damn good cartoonist who made more money as one of the speediest letterers in the business), this piece was part of Marvel's failed 1970s attempt to return to the humor color comics market!
After trying three times with Spoof, ARRRGH! (horror humor), and Crazy (reprinting material from Not Brand Ecch), Marvel decided to switch their humor efforts to a b/w book...with the resulting revival of Crazy in that format running over a decade with 94 issues and an oversized Special!
