The realist: the magazine of ka-ka. No.64, February, 1966
New York: The Realist, 1966. Magazine. 32p., stapled newsprint self-wraps 11x8.5 inches, somewhat browned but otherwise very good.
The centerfold this issue is an assemblage of drugs-in-the-military jokes called "Junkie battalion." Another cartoon shows Barry Goldwater immolating himself in support of LBJ's Vietnam policy.// Letter section acknowledges as a hoax Lenny Bruce obituary from previous issue (note that the sender of this letter, Jules Feiffer, is lodging a complaint about the parody of HIM), also a letter from Paul Jacobs chortling over HIS previous-issue hoax on ghetto humor, in which he had cited a text from the nonexistent Journal of American Poverty.// Lastly (not last of contents, but last we shall particularize) the "Conspiracy Corner" column (by Art Steuer) outlines circumstances that could make one consider Adlai Stevenson's heart attack a murder (he was about to spill, about Vietnam).
