AI notes: Porky's was released in the United States on March 19, 1982, by 20th Century Fox. Directed by Bob Clark, the film is a teen sex comedy set in 1950s Florida, following a group of high school boys on a quest to lose their virginity, which leads them to a sleazy nightclub called Porky's. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, it became a massive box office hit, grossing over $100 million and ranking as the fifth highest-grossing film of the year in the U.S. The film's success helped popularize the teen comedy genre in the 1980s and remains one of the most profitable Canadian films ever made.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
