Trolleri (Magic) Katalog '47 PART ONE

Today we have the first half of a super 1940's magic catalog from Swings in Stockholm. It's 60+ pages loaded with mysterious tricks and great magician clipart imagery-- and if you can read Swede that's a bonus for you! We'll have the second half of the katalog in our next post. Underbar!

The Home Meal Planner...

Published in 1957 by General Foods Corporation, The Home Meal Planner was a helpful 30+ page guide for those in need of balancing and combining a perfect, daily diet that fits into your taste, talent, budget and season. In typical AEET fashion though, we are only concerned with the art elements featured in said booklet, and these are just as much a treat for the eyes as a juicy slice of watermelon is for your mouth.

Charlie McCarthy in The Haunted Hide-out

For those that missed it the first time-- and as long as we're on a ventriloquist kick this week-- I thought I'd re-share some scans I originally donated to Magic Carpet Burn (RIP) a few years back. And if you're one of those types that think ventriloquist dolls are creepy (see last post / comments) then enjoy today's classic Dell story from Four Color #196, September 1948 --because what better place to put animated dolls than inside of a spooky old house setting?
