It's interesting to see what popular fads are going around in these older comic collections. In this one, it was the start of the Secret Agent / 007 crazy of the early 60s.
Brant Parker & Johnny Hart, The Wondrous Wizard of ID (London; Coronet Books, 1965).
Good humour, for example:
King: “Come along, Earl, I'll show you around the kingdom.” ... Earl: “Hello, peasant … How're they treating you?” Peasant: “I can't complain.” Earl: “How nice. Why do you say that?” Peasant: “It's forbidden.”

King: “All men are created equal.” Crowd: “What about kings?” King: “All kings are equal, too.”
Maybe I was spoiled with the Sunday paper, seems like the newspaper contributions were funnier or more insightful. Oh well, my favorite Brant character remains the Wizard.
