Liff  (Frank McGuire) - Yale Record - February-March 1962 - 60 pages

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

The clowns at Yale probably spent about two weeks on this one and they did not work too hard at it.  This is easily the worst college magazine parody I have ever read.  There are typographical errors on almost every page.  The photos are of poor quality.  The best of the photos are stock, black-and-white stills from old movies to which inept writers have tried (and failed) to add clever comments.  The articles are arduous, repetitive, pointless and much too long for the average reader.  In several cases, the Yale "writer" has commented within the articles that nobody reads this stuff; they just look at the pictures.  There are some advertisement parodies here but they also suffer from a lack of effort.  At "50 Cents", this thing was over-priced in 1962.  It is amazing that copies of it still exist.  [JAM 6/29/2017]
