This is the 60th anniversary of EC's peak and nadir.
Those were simpler times ... when TV was in its infancy and one's entertainment came via the radio waves, comic books and the movies.
Even the EC FAC Bulletin, a single-page two-sided newsletter, was (type)written and sent out quarterly by the editors, with the sign-off: E-C-ing you! – Your Grateful Editors. Included were around-the-office gossip items such as: "The Harvey Kurtzman's new arrival arrived...a furshlugginer boy...Peter John (pronounced Potrzebie)." [September 1954] Everything was run out of their office at 225 Lafayette Street in NYC.
