Sideshow #1, 1 of 3

This is the only known issue of Sideshow from sometime in 1949. It was a gag and comics digest from Avon Periodicals.

Cover artist is unknown, though it looks to have been copied from different sources. The man is in the style of Peter Arno while the woman is not.

Now you're speaking my language.

This cartoon is from the August 1967 issue of Debonair. There seems to be a signature in the lower left but damned if I know what it says.

These next two are by Michael Berry

I'm not sure where this one comes from

The July 1962 issue of Eve. Not sure who “Greg” is.
