Crisp Beer-Like Comb-Outs 'N Bowl-Ups

It's been awhile since I've matched two unrelated things to create a cool, color-coordinated, power post duet! And pink and black seem to be the palette pair-up for today, as hair and bowling unite! And wait, are they not actually related any 'ol way, anyways? I think so. See, Stanley Fay's TEASE Setting Lotion contained a special midcentury formula swishin' around inside of a very cute, shapely clear bottle. It was also equally graced with one of the most amazingly attractive, simple label designs and color combos that I've ever seen. And what's a "crisp, beer-like comb-out", you ask? Haven't you ever heard of rinsing your hair with beer? The protein loaded malts and hops coat your hair and repair damage, while the vitamins and sugars help make your marvelous mop extra soft and shiny. Try it and see. Oh, go on, dump a PBR on your head-- NOW! And okay, what's bowling got to do with all this then too, you ponder? Well, for starters, a great pink and black card deck box holding 52 crisp shots of bowling hilarity! That's right, and inside said box we even found a side-splitting sampling of cute 'n shapely Vic Take cartoon girls who clearly know their way around some "crisp, beer-like comb-outs! So there. A cool, color-coordinated, power post duet as only AEET could conjure up. And who's gonna be the first to point out the guy's merkin mustache on the Ace of Spades card below? Who.

I love the bowling cartoon with the couple stranded on the tiny island. I love it for her thought balloon, of course, but the art is also a lot brushier than the other examples from this deck. Lady, I think that people who play cards all the time are squares, too.

And thanks for the explanation about that formula bottle. I was about to give some to the baby!

I always loved the castaways short hand of the small desert island with a single palm tree, where survival would be next to impossible but always a good gag setup, and in this one I got a chuckle out of the "he's a square" thought balloon, complete with arrow!

Tease: Yeah, that's a great design. Normally I'm not a fan of too many fonts but everything here works together, and the bright pink with the black + white is nearly perfect. That's a great bottle!
