Notes	This cover features one the strangest gags ever. Apperently the clown should have had baseballs thrown at his head but tomatoes are substituted. I don't know about you but I would not be so upset if I were the clown after the substitution. The art appears similar to the inside art. Two stories are attributed to Cooper. May be Sam Cooper.
