Playgirl (Mary Ann Weaver) - Arizona Kitty Kat - April 1955 - 34 pages

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

Although this is one of the earliest parodies of Playboy magazine, it was also one of the lamest.  Portions of the short college publication have the Playboy look but the expected humor is mostly missing.  The "Playgirl's Party Jokes" is the article that comes closest to actual parody humor.  The centerfold shows a fully-dressed man who is apparently holding an empty wedding dress.  In "Playbill", the Kitty Kat editors express "... thanks to the editors of Playboy ..." for their help.  However, they needed a lot more help.  [JAM 12/7/2015]
