Some more Topps Fold-A-Roo scans have emerged since I last took a look at this uber-scarce set in 2014 and also 2018. A complete opposite-fashioned ripoff of Al Jaffee's MAD Magazine Fold-Ins, which debuted in 1964 (and which would repeatedly be ripped off by Topps as time passed) Fold-A-Roos were tested around 1966-67 (I suspect the latter year is more correct than the former), with only 24 of the advertised 36 subjects issued. I'm trying to document as many subjects as I can and this is the latest batch.
This was number 1:
OK, not the best joke. Might as well show the reverse, as my last attempt was in grainy B&W:
One we get to no. 9, things pick up a bit:

I dunno, the whole thing seems pretty lackluster overall:
No. 35 really doesn't improve upon things:

Definitely a MAD Magazine rip off - You are a Blast - Mushroom Cloud - for the early 1960s - maybe a little more shocking than funny.
