Follies of the Mad Men #120
[From Life magazine for January 10 1949.]
This hideous Donnie Darko-style image will haunt you forever, and make you swear off beer-drinking at once.
Furries and beer: two things that must never mix.

The Corpse Vanishes
This film without comment track was a total hoot! I imagine the MST3K version is even greater. Part 1 begins here.

Follies of the Mad Men #115
Okay, if you want to claim that your shaving cream will make the Average Joe resemble a movie star, wouldn't you pick Errol Flynn, say, or even Humphrey Bogart, rather than Frankenstein's monster?

Jackboots On Whitehall
Alternate history science fiction told entirely through puppets.
Not something you see every day.

Follies of the Mad Men #110
1) I have never seen another Schlitz ad with a bear.
2) Bears were not a Schlitz mascot.
3) The text of the ad makes no mention of the bear.
WHAT IS THIS BEAR DOING HERE?
Was there a famous trained bear circa 1942 that Schlitz wanted to associate themselves with? Do bears in the wild have a particular fondness for Schlitz? What university does this bear teach at?
So many questions from one little ad.....
