I saw that this week’s Le Show had a tribute to Paul Krassner, and I thought “oh no…”
First I’d heard about it.
Krassner went to work for Mad Magazine before founding the satirical counterculture magazine The Realist in 1958.
I remember reading in Re/Search: Pranks that he’d written a specific strip that I read when I was 11 (it was in a Super Special and would’ve already been relatively old by then). When I went back to look it up, there was either no author credit, or it was an obvious pseudonym.
Damn it, now I’ve got to sift through the archives… [sifting sound]
OK, so it was MAD #35, which was in 1957 (not 1955). There is indeed no writer’s credit but art is credited to Wally Wood. (Same with 1 or 2 issues before, with the spoof of Nancy so I suspect that was Krassner as well)
Anyway here is a sample from the gag I’d remembered, “If Comic Strip Characters Answered Those Little Ads”:

The idea that someone sitting within feet of the Supreme Court is collecting porn for a Govie living is funny.
“Clarence, where have you been? We’ve been waiting!..”
“I was next door a the Lib of Congress. Ummm … researching.”

Amassing that much pornography must give one little (if any) time to ‘experience’ that much pornography.

Well, in the space of a couple of paragraphs, the obit varies between
For Mr. Whittington, his collection was neither a hobby nor a shameful indulgence stored at the back of a closet. It was a serious academic undertaking; his interest was curatorial, not prurient.
…and…
“I really enjoy this stuff,” he told the Washington City Paper in 1997. “I’m not like some guy who says, ‘I only read Playboy for the articles.’ I mean, I really do take a hands-on approach.” [emphasis added]
