This is the final half of Bughouse #2, Ajax-Farrell's entry into the parody genre, dated June 1954. Last week I posted the first part.

Now I have the second issue of Bughouse, Ajax-Farrell's venture into the parody genre. The fourth of which I posted a few years ago. This one's from June 1954 and the cover, as well as the interior art, was drawn by the Iger Studio.

BUGHOUSE #4 3/3

...And here's the last of that issue of BUGHOUSE.







While I'm a little short on pages today, here's the intro page from MAD #17 (1954) I mentioned.

And here's the parody of that from BIJOU FUNNIES #8 in 1973. It's written by Jay Lynch and drawn by Ralph Reese, who was once an assistant to Wally Wood.

Even though a lot of the stuff I post is copyrighted, I never acknowledge it mainly because the owners can't be found and/or they wouldn't care. A copyright is only as good as it's enforced. I especially try not to if I know the owner. Such is the case with that last page, which is copyright (c)1973 by Bijou Publishing Empire, Inc.

BUGHOUSE #4 1/3

Ajax-Farrell had both BUGHOUSE and MADHOUSE as their answers to Kurtzman's MAD, among the several mentioned in MAD's “Caesar!”; drawn with the usual group of anonymous artists who seemed to draw with the bristol board at an angle. They did all genres but only their horror lived on through the cheapo Eerie Publications of the 70s.
