Game Shows in Print Cartoons
I have scanned four fairly recent print cartoons parodying either the game show genre or specific shows:
- Animal Game Shows: A Sunday Far Side cartoon from 1985 (clipped directly from a Minneapolis newspaper)
- Insects play To Tell the Truth
- A Broadcasting parody of What’s My Line? from 1992:
- Blond woman on panel: “You say you’re not a network.”
- Man on panel: “I’m stumped!”
- Brunet woman on panel: “...But you’re not an independent either.”
- Moderator: “...Looks like our guest has out foxed the panel!”
- Man at far right is seated at a desk marked MYSTERY GUEST
- A 1992 New Yorker cartoon: King Solomon goes on Jeopardy!
Cartoons collected by others:
- Concentration pastiche from Crazy magazine, July 1978 — Note the 25-panel rebus board. A better rebus construction would have been EIGHT+AWL+F HIT+LURE.
