Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght. 
The Supertourist: Temple Fielding. The beginning of the linked article is no help in explaining who the hell this oddly-drawn man is.
Apparently he said “As a member of an escorted tour, you don’t even have to know the Matterhorn isn’t a tuba.” (Thanks, Google!) That seems to be the most (or possibly the only) interesting thing about this schmoe.
I smell a metaphor about my own life, and frankly, sir, I don’t like it.
Time: The New York Mets: Baseball’s Wunderkinder (starring a kid with a jiffy-pop brain)
Life: Peter Max: Portrait of the artist as a very rich man (possibly the 'zine-iest cover they ever did)
At 15, I remember that cover all to vividly and all the coverage that went with it…the footage of the helicopter flying overhead taking pictures and recording it. I think that was my first time that I had seen pictures of dead people of that magnitude if not at all.
Good thing your mom didn’t hold back a week later.
As for me:
Time had Averell Harriman.
Life had some LA guy named Sandy.
General Suharto and how the commies lost Indonesia.
Apparently they decided to forgo JFK’s “After” pics… :eek:
Your birthday is January 12 as well? Lovely, if so - mine is but I guess they didn’t have a cover for that day.
Anyway, here is what turned up: A 1968 Tribute. It’s cool because that is my favorite single year in modern history that I have studied, even though I never got a chance to live it. Great graphics, too.
The day after I was born was The 80’s Look! Brooke Shields
She looks gorgeous as always but I could do without the ‘gag me with a spoon’ lacey crap.
Playboy’s Hugh Hefner
:eek:
Buncha Republican midterm election winners. And me a Democrat. Sheesh.
My cover was Gross.
Someone with a rather disturbinggetup. No clue who he is.
And apparently he’s bigger news than the Shah of Iran (shortly before his overthrow). :eek:
Bueller?
Yeah, I was worried Raygun was going to be on mine. I lucked out with Brooke Shields.
Happy birthday, Balle_M!
Mine is Uber lame. Nixon and Kissinger headed to Peking.
Mine was the North Vietnamese victory.
Sometimes a missile is just a missile…
I get Henry Kissinger. Lucky me.
Cool! Rowan and Martin
Inside: at least two articles featuring Philip Glass and speculation over whether designer Hawaiian shirts will become the next big trend.
