...this 1960s comedy-variety TV series was ground-breaking in a number of ways.

Besides the show's anti-Establishment content, which was always a source of contention with NBC network censors, it had an amazing amount of tie-in merchandise...including a MAD-style magazine!
In 1969, with the first Moon landing about to occur, the mag took a couple of looks at the space program...

Laufer Publishing was best-known for the legendary 1960s-70s teen magazine Tiger Beat!,...

...which continues to this day as a website, though not a print magazine!
