Link to Read Comics in Public Day

Geek O System alerts us to tomorrow: Read Comics in Public Day. I always thought comic book ads were tough to beat. They're an interesting piece to any business model.

I hope Manga counts as comics. It's all I got.

You're home free.

Give it a public read.

I love those pet ads. Having a pet monkey that could fit in a teacup would be so rad. Think of all of the adventures and hijinks one could plot with such a furry friend (not to mention the many foreign diseases you could contract from one)!

It's a bit lamer than ads for pets, but I used to love looking at all of the stuff I could presumably get if I joined the Olympic Sales Club or the Sales Leadership Club. I don't remember if I was aware of the fact that it could be a scam or if I was just busy enough selling candy bars and magazines for school fundraisers, but either way I never did it. So sad. I totally could have gotten that Snoopy phone.

These ads are pretty awesome, too.

X-ray glasses and a tripod machine gun would really fill up a Saturday afternoon.

The old National Lampoon once did a parody of comic book ads including an advertisement for "Job Dismissal"-- America's fastest growing industry.

Sadly, they were ahead of their time.

Yeah John, I reckon reposestion could have been an alternate punchline for that joke. As for funny ads, I saw one for a portable, and i think it is, 88 record player with monaurial earphone'
As for actual comics, I think I'll give Yu Yu Hakasho a good reread. I should remind Kaleb, he's getting in to comics now
