Magazine Cover: FART

Yep, that's kind of funny. Fart, though, means speed in Swedish. This is a motor magazine from 1963 and the cover shows a Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, '63 in front of a Pan Am Boeing and of course in the car a couple of happy stewardesses.

The cover and the info came from motorman GrandPrix63! Pay him a visit.

Vintage Magazines: Google Search



The excellent Modern Mechanix blog points out that over at Google Book Search you can now find "full indexed scans of every Popular Science and Popular Mechanics issue online". This is great of course but they don't have Modern Mechanix (yet anyway) so don't forget to visit the Modern Mechanix blog.

Vintage Magazine: Teen In


"Teen In 1968 - a weird sort of a rock magazine and comic that featured characters that were of that generic Archie clone look. US manga, huh? But overall intended for chicks. That's right I said it - I said "Chicks". Chicks chicks chicks." - see more, read more at GlyphJockey.

Illustration: Simplicissimus


ur Simplicissimus


"Simplicissimus var en tysk skämttidning utgiven i München 1896 - 1942 samt 1954 - 1967. Tidningen hade sin storhetstid före första världskriget, bl a för sina satiriska tecknare Th. Heine och Olaf Guldbrandsen. Tidningen Simplicissimus grundades 1896 av Albert Langen i München. Namnet är taget från en piaresk tysk 1600-talsroman som beskrev förhållandena i Tyskland strax efter 30-åriga kriget. Skämttidningen vände sig med samma hänsynslösa realism i sin satir över det alltför ordnade Tyskland omkring sekelskiftet. Tidningen kom att få stor betydelse för de bildade klasserna och som inspirationskälla för konstnärerna. Detta gällde inte minst här i Sverige. Så gott som samtliga tecknare omkring år 1900 sökte inspiration i tidningen. Naggen här i Sverige kom att arbeta på ungefär samma sätt under första världskriget."
