CoronaVirus Comics TRUMP MAGAZINE "Common Cold"

Wow!
After a month of grimness, let's go for a bit of levity!
This feature from Playboy Press' Trump Magazine #1 (1957) was written by either Harvey Kurtzman, Will Elder (or both) and illustrated by Al Jaffee.
After leaving MAD magazine, Kurtzman and Elder convinced Playboy creator/publisher Hugh Hefner to finance an even more adult humor magazine with the same high-quality production values as Playboy (but in black and white, not color, to keep down costs).
Though the magazine was selling, and the audience increasing as of the second issue, an economic downturn forced Hefner to cut back on titles, so the magazine ended its' run with #2, though the third issue was in preparation at the time.
