Henry Winkler as Fonzie 1976 / Right On! February 1976

A duo of publications up for your enjoyment tonight from the late 70s that caught my fancy. Thanks to McCoy for killer edits on both of these magazines, I'm always in awe of his gorgeous edits and at his productivity and choice of materials for his own scans. He's the straw that stirs the drink around here, and his help lets me cover a lot more ground and is much appreciated. Having such a good comrade in the scan game keeps me on my toes, in more ways than one. Whether pushing for more raws, turning me on to new magazines, or turning out some "how did he do that?" restoration work, he never ceases to amaze. So thanks, bud.

I'll kick it off with Fonzie. Aaaaaaaaay...

Damn, dude looks baby-faced. My wife hardly ever remarks about the scads of fantastic magazines the mailman brings to our door. Pin-ups and badgirls get an eye roll, historical items get a meh, but Fonzie here got a sweet laugh. I'm not sure I'd trust my girl around the Fonz, that sly bastard.

Happy Days was a little before my time, though I certainly watched some episodes as a kid. I didn't know that Laverne and Shirley got their start on an episode...

The centerfold

I was let down by this article. Today if you say Pot Shop in California you might have a little more luck, cough cough.

Don't worry too much if your girl wants to get it on with the Fonz, she'd prolly have a hard time finding one of these on ebay...

Right on, right on, next up a truly killer issue

I think this magazine was a casualty of the recession, as it apparently has gone out of business. I did see a Michael Jackson memorial issue out there, but it looks like regular publication has ceased. A well done magazine, Right On! carried news and hype for black entertainment. There are a number of color pages in here, and the layout is excellent. This magazine is jam-packed with tidbits and is a great snapshot the black entertainment industry in the late 70s.

I can't really remember much about What's Happening outside of Rerun and Roger, it's been years since I saw it. I remember it as a buddy-type sitcom about growing up, I wonder how dated it will seem if I can track it down.

More Samples, the Jacksons. I've noticed that Michael Jackson magazines have quickly become more valuable...

I'll go ahead and include the whole Parliament article for my P-funk lovin' homies. Gotta get up for the downstroke-

A truly unfortunate centerfold, this can't be good for the tough guy image. I'll never look at Black Samurai the same again. Inside he boasts of beating Bill Cosby in a celebrity match...

And a mystery quiz

OK, I'll give you a hint, you can win a date with one of them...

Answer! Get the funk out, it's the Brothers Johnson!

Next time with the scan-foo, one last modern mag I'd hoped to include tonight before I'd run out of steam. The art of fighting without fighting? Show me some of it...
