This comic Sunday Funnies is from the first issue of TRUMP Magazine (Jan 1957). Contrary on what you might think, TRUMP Magazine has no connection to Donald Trump. Donald Trump was only 11 years old when this was published. TRUMP was originally named “X” until a name was decided on. TRUMP was the brain child of MAD Comic book creator Harvey Kurtzman and PLAYBOY publisher Hugh Hefner. They wanted it to be a sophisticated MAD – like satirical magazine. It lasted two issues. I think TRUMP in this case means the dominant hand in a card game.
In this story, since it is in the Thanksgiving time is also
checking over your Christmas list for toys.
The story was probably written by editor and illustrated by Al Jaffee. By the way, Jaffee lived something like 103
years.
