Item # 701737

July 02, 1932

GOOFY GAZETTE, New York, July 2, 1932  

* Rudy Vallee shot ?

As the title might suggest, this was a a comic newspaper, making fun of current events, people, and places. Perhaps this was most needed in the depths of the Depression.
Eight pages, tabloid-size, archival strengthening at the spine, good condition.

AI notes: The July 2, 1932 issue of Goofy Gazette was a New York–printed, eight-page tabloid-sized comic newspaper that satirized contemporary news, personalities, and events at the height of the Great Depression. Instead of reporting straight news, it used humor and cartoon-style features to poke fun at current events, people, and places, making it more of a novelty or amusement paper than a traditional daily newspaper — a light-hearted diversion that would have stood out in a time of widespread economic hardship. Copies of this issue are now rare collector’s items and are mainly documented through rare newspaper dealer catalogs rather than extensive archives.
