Ballyhoo Magazine
Ballyhoo was an adult humor magazine published by Dell Publishing, created by George T. Delacorte Jr., and edited by Norman Anthony (former editor of Life and Judge), from 1931 until 1939, with a couple of attempts to resuscitate the magazine by Bill Yates after the war between 1948 and 1954. It featured a central section dedicated to one-off cartoon, in addition to spoof ads and articles much in the manner later popularized by the 1950s magazine Mad.
The Hoff “cheesecake calendar” from the Winter 1953-54 issue spoofs the well known Esquire girl calendar.
