Here is the cover of TRUMP magazine #1, Jan. 1957.
This was the first venture that Harvey had with High Hefner.
Unfortunately, TRUMP lasted only two issues. When this
Harvey and Jack spoof of a popular TV show came out, I’ll
always remember my older brother and his friends reading
this particular story with tears streaming down their faces,
it was that good!

I haven’t read any of it yet but on “Trump†magazine…
I either read something or saw some interview with Hefner once where he said he was one of those folks who did cartoons early on. So, that magazine made since for him, I suppose.
Though, I don’t know if I ever saw any cartoons Hefner did…are there any in the magazine, or even in early Playboy issues?
