Jack and Jill (October 1971) PART TWO
Okay, the scanner was simply unplugged (sumtimez I iz rill dumm) --anyway, here's the second half of the October 1971 issue of Jack and Jill Magazine, see our last post for the other ghostly goodies by clicking HERE! In this half we have actual full spooky stories, more games, masks, and LOTS of super cute illustrations of black cats, witches, kids in costumes, etc! Hope everyone is enjoying Halloween in April-- sometimes holidays are too far away for my liking!
Did you know there are TONS more halloween highlights from old back issues of Jack and Jill right here in the AEET archive? It's true! Follow the link below and you'll see :)

i love The Small Black Cat story - and the illustrations! they're sooo cute!! and that Up-To-Date Witch thing is pretty great too.
ReplyDeletei gotta incorporate "No Sir-ee!" into my everyday talking more.
That's some of my favorite art too :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow the Fantasia story with the magic spoon is terrific. I would love to see that animated, the idea of the spoon making all sorts of thrillingly awful food at the command of someone who can't cook is just great comedy. And it makes the scary final reveal of the scissors too terrifying to contemplate. But I want to see that sequel animated too, of course.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the cute black kitten story, but it deserves a more realistic ending:
"I've already named him," Lisa said. "He's black and he turned up on Halloween. So his name is Princess Fun Size Milk Duds."
Then everybody laughed and mom put the cat in the laundry room.
haha
ReplyDeletePoor Marilyn, left out of the family again, its a shame everyone treated her so badly due to her looks.
ReplyDeleteEh? Oh, you commented on the wrong post-- haha
