We’re taking the Wayback Machine all the way to 1966 for a summer of Beatlemania in this week’s page-by-page facsimile edition of LAUGH #166! Can you dig it?

Main cover of the LAUGH #166 Facsimile Edition. Betty and Veronica are sitting on the floor listening to Beatles records on a portable turntable. They're sharing a thought balloon with an image of the Beatles band members. In the background, Mr. Lodge is trying to read his newspaper in a green easy chair by the fireplace. He's looking angrily over his shoulder at the girls, with a thought balloon showing pictures of real beetles, the insects.

The summer of 1966 was THE time to be a teen listening to records and playing the jukebox, with Beatlemania reaching its peak as the band played their final concert and released the groundbreaking album Revolver. A groovy time was had by all, and with a nostalgic wink to that moment, we’re bringing back LAUGH #166 with an iconic Beatles-themed cover by Harry Lucey in a faithful page-by-page reprint including all the original ads and editorial pages, just as they appeared to kids at the time who grabbed a copy along with the latest singles.   

You can start reading now with the complete classic story, “Mad Plaid,” below, and you’ll want to grab your own copy of this collector’s item here without spending hundreds on an original. And have a hi-fi weekend!
