Trivia question, which by definition no one cares about, as it is trivial...but when did Humorama Digest run a photograph of Marilyn Monroe posed in a potato sack? The answer is in Stare Magazine the Summer 1952 issue, and here she is. Stare must have sprung a bundle for it, as Marilyn was, I believe, already an expensive dish of taters. The Photograph was by Earl Theisen and taken in 1952, so at the time it had not been seen much. Of Course, they gummed it up with patented Humorama drivel. The magazine was new...volume one! As such a fairly difficult date to obtain.
