In Oct. 1961,the pop culture magazine Mad introduced a
feature entitled "Celebrities Wallets." It was
drawn by George Woodbridge and written by Arnie Kogen.
The Magazine stated "With this article, MAD
introduces a new feature, based on the
proposition that you can tell an awful lot about a
person by the scraps of paper and cards and bills
and photographs and money he carries around
in his wallet. Since we are all basically nosey,
we thought it would be exciting to see what
famous people carried around in their wallets. So
we sent out a special research team to pick
some famous pockets...". Bobby Darin was their
first subject. Below are links to what appeared
in that issue.
