Damn, dude looks baby-faced. My wife hardly ever remarks about the scads of fantastic magazines the mailman brings to our door. Pin-ups and badgirls get an eye roll, historical items get a meh, but Fonzie here got a sweet laugh. I'm not sure I'd trust my girl around the Fonz, that sly bastard.

Happy Days was a little before my time, though I certainly watched some episodes as a kid. I didn't know that Laverne and Shirley got their start on an episode...

I was let down by this article. Today if you say Pot Shop in California you might have a little more luck, cough cough.

Don't worry too much if your girl wants to get it on with the Fonz, she'd prolly have a hard time finding one of these on ebay...

I think this magazine was a casualty of the recession, as it apparently has gone out of business. I did see a Michael Jackson memorial issue out there, but it looks like regular publication has ceased. A well done magazine, Right On! carried news and hype for black entertainment. There are a number of color pages in here, and the layout is excellent. This magazine is jam-packed with tidbits and is a great snapshot the black entertainment industry in the late 70s.

I can't really remember much about What's Happening outside of Rerun and Roger, it's been years since I saw it. I remember it as a buddy-type sitcom about growing up, I wonder how dated it will seem if I can track it down.

More Samples, the Jacksons. I've noticed that Michael Jackson magazines have quickly become more valuable...

A truly unfortunate centerfold, this can't be good for the tough guy image. I'll never look at Black Samurai the same again. Inside he boasts of beating Bill Cosby in a celebrity match...

Next time with the scan-foo, one last modern mag I'd hoped to include tonight before I'd run out of steam. The art of fighting without fighting? Show me some of it...
