This is on the inside over – was this a religious magazine or was it simply OK to have something like this in a child’s magazine in 1961? Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great, I’m just not sure you could do this today – invoking “Christ” and the “Lord” in a child’s publication. Maybe I’m way off base here, let me know?
The Disneyland article is six pages long and mostly covers the “Parade of Toys”.
I’m not a big parade fan, but the “French Balloonists March” looks pretty neat. And that giant mouse trap is fun too, HEY - they better keep Mickey away from that trap!
There’s those prancing reindeer with that silly expression on their faces; I used to work with someone who always had that same expression on his face! Nice castle shot, I like the toy soldiers up on the castle balcony – I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone up there on the front side? Notice the little ½ domed light on the lawn, my local miniature golf place used to have those exact same lights!
There are no advertisements in Jack and Jill, so how about a few holiday related articles? Here are a few fun recipes – Is it just me or do the characters on these pages remind you of Kevin Kidney's work?
A “Christmas Picture to Color” the child did a pretty good job with the crayons, I never stayed in the lines like that!
Diz and Liz look like they came right from the late 1950’s News Paper Comics section.
Time to test your wits.
