Thousands Can Draw Cartoons Who Have Never Even Tried

"Why work at drudgery when through a remarkable new method you can easily learn at home in spare time to draw cartoons that sell?"

"Many are earning pitifully small salaries who could make wonderful salaries in cartooning."

This is my favorite part:

"Just watch a cartoonist work. A few little lines -- a couple of simple curves --a splash of black here and there -- and then you see a splendid cartoon before you."

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!

“Fury Commands…And NO man Can Refuse!” 1950 Comic Book Perfume Ads

Perfume ads from Avon Comics
“Underworld Story” #32 1950

The text on these ads is a scream…
and those illustrations are wonderful!

Not quite sure why this ad
was running in a crime comic…

Those guys sure knew how to write lurid, sensational and salacious ad copy in those days.
Gimme that order form…I wanna try them all!

Here’s the whole enchilada…
all on one eye-punishing page:

The full comic book ad is below:
