A DAY IN THE LIFE OF SOUPY SALES
Cracked #47, November 1965
a: McCartney (Bill Ward)

Soupy Sales was known for a childrens' show that was syndicated afternoons in the mid sixties and had a big following among celebrities like Frank Sinatra. He had puppets like White Fang and Black Tooth whose claws were usually the only things you saw. The punchline for most of his sketches often involved him getting a pie thrown in his face.

A Celebrity's Wallet was a regular feature in MAD. This is from #99, December 1965, by Arnie Kogen and Bob Clarke.

The letter from Richard Nixon was a joke about how he would get the attention of important people, though a few years later, Nixon would make an appearance on Laugh-in.

“Do the Mouse” was a hit song of his then.
