BBB Pulp Pick - Smokehouse Monthly

As promised in last week's entry, for the next several weeks Pulp Picks will spotlight publications following the lead of Capt Billy's Whiz Bang (CBWB).

CBWB was wildly popular in the 1920s reaching a circulation of 425,000 with a cool half-million in profits (that's a 1920's half-million!). The next publication from Fawcett was in 1926 titled Smokehouse Monthly. Not as well known as some of the magazines and comics to come, Smokehouse pushed the bawdy and risque nature CBWB had developed. It was known as a magazine full of jokes, cartoons, and satire of the "adult" nature...rather tame by today's standards.
