"Okay, these comic strip-stye ads are hot right now so we want to try one. Make sure you hire an artist who can't draw, preferably a twelve year old. Make sure they're terrible at faces, perspectives, proportions and especially fashions! Oh! And the lettering! Please be sure to get someone to letter it who squeezes way too many words into each panel! THAT should get the public's attention!"

ReplyDeleteI remember this ad. I come across it at times reading thru old comics. Always wonder who/what was behind it all.
ReplyDeleteAnd the art... Is Billy a boy or a girl???
