Pop Quiz

Are you with it? Do you have problems with "The Man?" Is your hair length a problem? Are you a round peg trying to fit into Squaresville?

Which probably explains why Teen Beam didn't make it past issue #2...

Ad from Lois Lane #80 (1968)...because nothing screams "groovy like watching Lois lane continually throw herself at "Mr. Establishment"" himself.
