Title: Comic book advertising Post by: VanZee on September 06, 2007, 07:46:36 PM Anyone remember "GRIT"? Had some kid with a carrier's bag holding up a wad of dollars? I have a graphical need for that image and wondering if someone can point me to a good quality scan of it.
Those old comic ads were great. You just **knew** they were a rip-off, even as a ignorant child, but those x-ray specs and onion gum was just too tempting to pass by. Chicks really dug the "modocrylic," too.

"a magazine that celebrates such remarkable qualities as character, pluck and perseverance..." Looks like the kind of thing that Clark Kent might read. |
