Charley Jones' Laugh Book Magazine- June 1952 (Part 1)
Ahhh... Here's another issue of Charley Jones' Laugh Book Magazine and yet another excellent Al Wiseman cover! Why, you've got everything you could ever want in one stunningly-drawn package- a great joke, a beautiful woman, a couple of pre-Dennis Wiseman kids and a big ol' "Al Wiseman" signature.
Any more sheer goodness would be absolute gluttony!
Sure it's a wonderful cover, but what's really going on in the groom's mind? Poor guy. I figure his thought process is going something like this:
"Alone at last! Now...
Jeez! What the Hell? Where'd those kids come from?!?"
"Were they in the wedding party? I don't remember them..."
"Maybe they're her kids from an earlier marriage? She didn't mention any kids..."
"Children's eyes- burning a hole through my skull..."
"Must look away! Magazines- I'll look at magazines..."
"Is that Fix magazine?
Or Tix?
Pix?!?
Is this even in English?!? Can't think...
"AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
"Hallucinating...
Must look at modern art on wall instead!"
"Have to concentrate on pretty colors...
not on children's eyes, not on..."
"Good Lord!"
*Choke!*

Thanks Bill.

Sorry, I meant Blue Boat.

Oh man...somebody messed with my monitor again...grrr.
ok Red/bluesaie...oh never mind...
Bill, I like that "Cosmo" touch of the characters on those covers.
Classy.
Keep 'em coming.

Jim,
That does look like a red boat with a blue sail in the "modern art" on the wall.
And here I kept looking for hidden words in the painting (but the only thing I could come up with was the letter "L")...
why stop there?
I'm pretty sure that's the point where the groom passes out and everything goes black.
Actually, I should have done an extreme close-up of the groom's eye where everything does go black.
Oh well...
