1978 Comic Book ads: Toys and bizarre mail order catalogs
Today's group of ads was scanned from this comic book:
The ads in this book were...strange. And one of them was mildly offensive.
===========
"BUY OUR GUN, KIDS!! It's so realistic, the cops wont be able to tell that it's a toy!!!"
It's from Europe, you guys. EUROPE!!!!!
And here's one of those hokey old Hostess ads:
"Sexy" posters for sale. FOR KIDS!!:
Wait! Why is there a Grizzly Adams poster among the sexy celebrities!!? I know it was the 70s; but I just can't believe that any kid or teenager found that thing attractive!! >_<
.....that said, I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the Sexy Clint Eastwood poster in the ad. XD
I'm not even a Star Wars fan, but OMG I want those toys and jewelry pieces!! ^_^
And now for the offensive one...
Specifically...
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT ONE OF THOSE!!?!??!!! WHY IS THIS IS A KIDS' BOOK!? WHY!!?!?!? O_o
BTW, I scanned the entire comic book here. Just in case you're dying to know how Elroy Jetson escapes the predicament he's in on the cover.
