\"COMICS-HEAD\"<\/a>\"Jackie-Jokers-detail\"<\/a>Only it’s not really Paul McCartney<\/strong>. It is Richard Nixon<\/strong>, however.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is from an ad for an unfunny Harvey Comic<\/strong> within another unfunny Harvey Comic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Jackie-Jokers\"<\/a>I never heard of Jackie Jokers<\/em>, but apparently he was friends with Richie Rich<\/strong><\/a> and Harvey Comics was trying to spin him off into his own comic. I never heard of him not being a fan of Richie Rich or any of Harvey’s line.<\/p>\n

Barbershops may have kept this around to keep the kiddies entertained, but this was more like the sort of comic that would be lying around a dentist’s office. Poorly drawn and absolutely unfunny. It was hardly up to the task of keeping a young mind off of his or her turn in the dentist’s chair.<\/p>\n

This came out in 1973 after the Watergate break in, but was probably assigned, written and drawn before any of the controversy hit the fan. Nixon won by a landslide in 1972; he was the president, and presidents have ticker tape parades. If it came out 10 years before, Jackie would have had a crew cut and have been driving through a similar parade accompanied by JFK.<\/p>\n
