FUN TRICKS FREE THINGS!

When I was reading comics in the seventies, these ads were merely an annoyance. But now I love the delightful weirdness of the art and the products!

    I still have those Superman, Batman and Robin patches. I finally got to use them when I sewed the Robin patch onto one of my youngest son's shirts last year.

    I remember them too, as well as the ads from Johnson Smith.
    Whatever happened to "Gandalf Products" anyway? (Were they sued by the Tolkien estate?)

    I actually purchased,...ok,..my mom actually purchased the 7ft monster poster and Venus fly traps from those ads! They were soooooo cool!

    I bet the artists that drew these ads up laughed uncontrollably during the process.
