It’s September of 1967. You’re a horny adolescent boy and the Playtex Bra adverts aren’t due out in the paper for a couple of days. What are you going to do? Why, buy a copy of Henry’s Mod Teen Adventures of course! It’s jam packed with lots of quickly drawn buxom girls in short skirts bending over, falling down, and getting tangled up at the slightest provocation. SAT question and answer: Henry’s Mod is to the Rolling Stones as Archie is to the Beatles. The insides are not nearly as sophisticated as the cover. Interesting that “MOD” looks an awful lot like “MAD” as far as typography. There’s a guy on a sailboard on the cover, but that’s the only skateboard you’ll see in this mod, mod world. I unknowingly bought this from Scott Starr. The first thing I did after receiving it was accidentally get the scotch tape from the protective bag stuck on the comic while taking it out. Full goobered up cover after the jump.

I know the editor/publisher Michael Brooke, and we’ve had this discussion here on S&A about the editorial content of Concrete Wave before they switched to an unabashed longboard/downhill format, so we don’t need to rehash all that again. However, when I saw this article I immediately went to the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee, just so I could do a spit-take! Honestly though, this is the sort of article I would have expected from Skateboarder Magazine in the mid 70’s. To be fair, this was in an issue with a cover story on longboarding as therapy. Apparently there is an operation that uses longboarding in family therapy. OK commentators – I challenge you to try some gentle ribbing instead of a reactionary meathead approach.

I’ve seen people joke about dropping in off the roof of Pier Parl’s full pipe, but even then not in such a potentially sketchy line. Willis Kimbel as shot by Garric Ray. Worried about what happens when he lands? Check out the full animated sequence at Thrasher.

Listen fellas, those things happen when you don’t use birth control. The Chicago Department of Public Health rolled out these billboards to let you guys know that pregnancy isn’t just a girl’s problem. I think they hired the photog from American Apparel for this one. Why is this kid skateboarding on a dirt road? I’m not sure. Maybe they explain it at this really awkward url: beyoubehealthy.org [Source: New Zealand Herald] – Thanks to Simon Liver for the tip.

Confusion has simple but rad little plan for recycling an old skateboard into a concrete float. You can use the float to make more things to skate on, to wear out more skateboards, to make more concrete floats, to make more things to skate on…
