presumably he got the call because Jack Davis was doing four other posters that month

"mad monster party" apparently trying to pre-empt MAD magazine's spoof by using their exact typeface/bolding.― the thirteenth floorior (Doctor Casino), Thursday, February 11, 2016 11:30 PM (four years ago) Mad Monster Party? wasn't official MAD but had ties - Harvey Kurtzman co-wrote the script and Jack Davis did character design.― saki, Friday, February 12, 2016 1:25 AM (four years ago)

Thanks for the Friedman link, visiting - the last few TV Guide pieces look very much like the "WEHK"-signed mid-'80s stuff that stevie was remembering

Though I think it was just Will Elder...
This is what Friedman says about it on that link visiting posted:
This time In collaboration with Kurtzman, Elder's second film poster, from 1977
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 08:00 (three years ago) link
Ah right, was only looking at the lovely pix on that link, and hadn't spotted any trademark WEHK signature.
― Just a few slices of apple, Servant. Thank you. How delicious. (stevie), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 08:17 (three years ago) link
I guess Kurtzman did the initial layout design and then WE painted it - predates the WEHK signed stuff by a few years, maybe they only used that for Mad?
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 08:30 (three years ago) link
Nuts! may have also had some WEHK-signed stuff, the covers had the same sort of look iirc

Always think about the middle-aged Silent Generation couple dressing up and getting a sitter so they can go see the latest Peter Sellers movie.

Those Peter Sellers movies, ones like "Mrs. Pollifax-Spy" or "The Secret of My Success", may have been the high-brow "low-brow" movies of their day. While the Boomer teens saw the latest Elvis movie, I picture the 40something parents putting on coat and tie, nice earrings and hat, and going out for a bit of fun to see an "adult" movie before heading over to Sam's Diner on the way home for a cup of coffee.
― pplains, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
boomer teens were going to elvis movies in the early 70s?
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 17 September 2020 01:48 (three years ago) link
I was thinking these were from 1965-68 or so!
Again, this is just what's happening in my head, maybe not IRL.
― pplains, Thursday, 17 September 2020 02:21 (three years ago) link
tbh i didn't realize until just now looking it up that Elvis was still starring in narrative features up until '69, so i think generally your theory could totally work for a lot of the dorky MOR-looking 60s comedies itt!
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 17 September 2020 11:44 (three years ago) link
I don't think in 1969 anybody was going to see Charro! or Change of Habit.

The movie had an alternate title. It was sold under the title of "Sexy Lady" in Argentina and other countries of Latin America.

Andy's undisplayable image is achronologically fulfilling this prediction: post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s
here's one that might show up, though the linked version in that post is much better:
