The New Yoiker (Fred D. Pfening, Jr.) - Ohio State Sundial - May 22, 1947 - 44 pages (?)

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

This high-quality parody of The New Yorker is not what one would expect from a midwest humor publication, but they had some professional help.  The editors went to New York to get technical help from the staff of New Yorker magazine.  The result is the best-looking parody of the weekly magazine that took only two months to create.  The articles and reviews are not remarkable but writers maintained a level articulation that shows a great deal of respect for the original (an important definition of a true parody).  And, in the tradition of great parodies of periodicals, the staff of the Sundial packed the product with an ample supply of advertisement parodies fitting seamlessly within their regular advertisers.  Apparently, they did not have enough material for 44 pages.  My copy has gaps where pages 5, 6, 35 and 36 should be.  Unless this is a mutant issue, the gaps are intentional.  [JAM 10/24/2016]
