Don't enter me, I'll be buying it myself in a bit. Yoe needs to eat!
OK, Panic Magazine. I think, as far as I can tell, this was something by the Farrell guys later on, in the late 50s. It's so confusing because, of course, MAD had it's own clone at EC, Panic (which, in many ways, I thought was slightly superior to MAD. Yes, this is a controversial opinion!). Stupid comics and their naming!
The Davis gag is just pure Davis. Even the mad scientist's expression at the end isn't what you'd expect (he's not fearful, just pissed that his plan backfired.). The joke's not great, but Davis sells the hell out of it.
I love Yoe brand books and I love free stuff.
thanks,

Hooray for goofy contests!
Darn, I wish I had this! Looks great from the samples. Also, unrelated, but Mykal's back to posting on the Big Blog of Kids Comics after quite a few years. Check the two newest posts out.
I need that sweet Jack Davis Frankenstein!!!

Well Squa Tront!
I would be very pleased to add this to my horde of promo give aways from THOIA. It is virtually certain you will draw my name from the hat, Karswell. You will not be able to stop yourself. Winning THOIA prizes is my other superpower. The primary one is being able to shake exactly two pills from any bottle, like aspirins for example. However, that has proven useless in real world applications while my THOIA power has made me wealthy in third world countries.
Haha
Can't wait for this one. Good to see you feature the most familiar artists. popeyesmith@comcast.net
Yeah, that Jack Davis bit is solid gold. A long-time fave. And what I wouldn't give for full subscriptions to Cadavalier (I collect the Bone Bodē cartoons from the back) and Monstieur (tres fric!). Those are just great ideas, right there--funny and thrilling. Slayboy, on the other hand, is actually kind of terrifying.
Keep up the good work... Please enter me in the Behaving Madly contest. Thank you Scott Jackson monstermangraphic@gmail.com
I loved John Severin's work in Cracked magazine when I was a kid. It would be great if you'd put my name into your magic hat for this contest. My name is Jon and my email is trivell50@yahoo.com
I always loved the MAD copycats....it was all fun.

I'm especially loving the girl sporting bat wings on the Jack Davis Frankstein page! Thanks for putting on such a great contest!(cruevixen86@hotmail.com)
Would love this! MAD and monsters go hand in hand.
Thanks again to everyone that entered the contest! I'll announce the winners later today at both blogs, I always let my son draw the names from the fishbowl :)
