Trump (magazine)
''Trump'' was a glossy magazine of satire and humor, mostly in the forms of comics features and short stories. It was edited by Harvey Kurtzman and published by Hugh Hefner, with only two issues produced in 1957. The first issue appeared in January 1957. The magazine's mascot was a trumpeter herald in the style of John Tenniel's ''Alice in Wonderland'' illustrations. Kurtzman began work on ''Trump'' shortly after leaving '' Mad'' following a break with its publisher William M. Gaines. ''Mad'' also lost two of its top cartoonists in the dispute's aftermath, when Will Elder and Jack Davis chose to follow Kurtzman. Wally Wood was also recruited for the ''Trump'' team in the form of an either-or option, but he chose to stay at ''Mad''. Other notable artists, including Al Jaffee and Arnold Roth, appeared in ''Trump''. Production Sales were reportedly good for ''Trump'', especially for a new title with a 50-cent cover price, then considered high. But the project was ill-fated. The mag ...

Topper (comic Strip)
A topper in comic strip parlance is a small secondary strip seen along with a larger Sunday strip. In the 1920s and 1930s, leading cartoonists were given full pages in the Sunday comics sections, allowing them to add smaller strips and single-panel cartoons to their page. Toppers usually were drawn by the same artist as the larger strip. These strips usually were positioned at the top of the page (hence their name), but they sometimes ran beneath the main strip. Toppers were introduced by King Features Syndicate during the 1920s, enabling newspaper editors to claim more comic strips without adding more pages. The practice allowed newspapers to drop the topper and place another strip or an additional advertisement into the Sunday comics section. They also made it possible to reformat a strip from full-page size to Tabloid (newspaper format), tabloid size. In 1904, Frederick Opper drew his ''And Her Name Was Maud'', about the kicking mule Maud, into comic strips, books and animatio ...
