Saturday Evening Post, 5/24/64

Run little Earthalings!

Boy, this issue's straight out of Lileks Country, so forgive me if I "unconsciously" "borrow" some of his lines. The whole issue is a giant plug for the 1964 World's Far. Yes, Far. No, I don't know why they called it that. Let's get the ad out of the way:

Friday! Time for another edition of I Was a Communist for the F.B.Iiiiyah. Tonight's episode, the clumsily titled "Courter of Disaster!" (7/22/53). [Update: Bill Conrad reprises his uncredited role as "Comrade Revchenko," Matt Cvetic's cell leader.]

More Far:

The obligatory beatnik cartoon:
