Take My Wife... I Beg You!

Saturday Leftover Day.

I have shown some Trudy before and although it isn't the smartest or funniest gag panel strip around I sort of like it. But mostly, because I like Jerry Marcus, who was Mort Walker's successor as an editor of 1000 Jokes and kept that on for al least all of the fifties.

Take My Wife.... Please.

Monday Cartoons Day.
