catrick339 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Aw, Nerts! V1 #2, March 1932 Another cartoon humor magazine, less cheesecake but just as many silly cartoons and jokes. The gag on the front cover is pretty funny....if you're familiar with an ad campaign from the 30's, "Quick Henry, the Flit!" which was a bug spray. The only reason *I* know anything about it is because I ran across a bunch of FLIT advertisements done by Doctor Seuss. Well! That's probably enough useless information. Tape on the spine, large light water stain lower RH FC pulled lower staple. Asking $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
