- THE COVER
- Every boy has a spell of yearning to resemble Hercules or Tarzan or some other bulging being. To accomplish this he yearns for fairly expensive gadgets, scorning his father’s theory that a superb body can be built with a snow shovel or a spade. So there is Johnny in calisthenical agony; and how long will it take him to get fed up with the deal and switch to rocket building or something? Artist Kurt Ard purchased those awesome exercisers, but you needn’t feel sorry for his model—the expanded springs were fastened to the studio walls and all the lad had to exercise was his face. Later Ard found the gadgets useful for various purposes, but not for exercising. He learned to pop those springs into the hands of visitors who talk about the big fish they caught.
