POP QUIZ MAGAZINE: FUNNY PAGES PUZZLERS

A very short-lived publication, Pop Quiz Magazine  met an untimely demise due to in-fighting amongst the publisher owners. The magazine was a digest-sized publication filled with popular culture quizes, tests and puzzles. I provided a feature based on information from the comic industry called Funny Pages Puzzlers. Here's an example of one of those puzzlers.
