Monday Madness ESQUIRE "Return of A Christmas Carol"

The tale of Scrooge's Yuletide redemption has been told and re-told ad nauseum since 1843...
...but never quite like this updated version from Esquire Magazine (December, 1961).
Adapted/laid-out by Harvey Kurtzman and illustrated by David Levine, this re-telling is loaded with Mad Men-era pop culture and political references you'll have to Google to understand if you didn't live through the era!
Consider it our Monday Madness Xmas gift!

  1. Any chance of posting larger scans? These are harder to read than what you usually post.

  2. The scans are done to this 525-pixel size to fit on the page without having to leave it, and to keep the file size down since Google doesn't count files below 300K towards the file storage count.
    You can go here https://archive.org/download/Esquire-Magazine-1961-12/Esquire-Magazine-1961-12.pdf and download the issue in PDF form, which I hope you find more readable.
    I hope that helps!
