Too Skinny? Is that really a problem?

I just can't seem to get enough of old ads from comic books, magazines, and newspapers. Ah.....life before the internet and when kids actually played outdoors or with their imaginations!!

This "Sea Monkeys" ad is from my Vol 8, No. 38, June 1978 comic book Ghost Manor. Real Sea Monkeys (in the family of shrimp) are actually pretty ugly.


This is from my Vol 1, No. 69, March 1974 issue of The Savage Sub-Mariner. Really, too skinny? This was definitely before people stopped cooking at home and ate fast food all the time.



The Slim Jim and Mustache ad are from a few pages of a Ghost Rider comic that I have, unknown date and edition. You can even send in a sample of your hair so they can match it!! HAHA!! Impressive alright!

    I love those old ads - when I was decopaging my wall w/ old comic book pages, I was sure to show plenty of those old ads. I think my all-time faves were the old Hostess ads where superheroes successfully reformed murderous super-villains with golden, spongy cakes!
