Jokes and riddles submitted by readers. Oddly, this page, appearing during only the second month of the Gold Key Comics Club's existence, is filled with reader-submitted jokes and riddles – with presumed actual reader’s names and home towns included. As these could not have been submitted for publication as part of the various Gold Key Comics Club “reader-participation pages” which only began in the previous month's releases (none of the other such pages herein have any reader contributions), one must believe these reader-submitted jokes and riddles were ported over from another source at Western Publishing… most likely the “Goofy Jokes” feature page from Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, which featured the same type of content. Coincidently, the “Goofy Jokes” feature ceased with the start of the Gold Key Comics Club.
