Charley Jones' Laugh Book Magazine- The Latrine Gazette


The military-themed "Latrine Gazette" was a regular column that ran in Charley Jones' Laugh Book Magazine for a number of years. And, as you might guess, it was chock-full of hilarious military jokes!

Well, minus the "hilarious" part (hilarity was a scarce oasis in the vast and barren desert we call the Charley Jones' Laugh Book Magazine).

In fact, the only good thing about the "Latrine Gazette" was Al Wiseman's jovial masthead. In issue after issue, the awful jokes changed, but readers were always greeted with the same reliable Wiseman-drawn header!

Thanks Al- for making Charley Jones' Laugh Book Magazine almost readable!

Man, how do you keep coming up with this stuff? It's amazingly mind-bending. Where will it end? Where will it all end?!?

All this stuff comes from years of obsessive research combined with years of obsessive searching!

And it ends when I run out of stuff to post. Or when I burn out from posting.
Whichever comes first...
