We've got mummies comin' out of the woodwork over at THOIA this month, so I'll probably lure a few of them over here to shamble around AEET occasionally throughout March as well. Take this old 1940's Tootise Roll candy ad featuring Captain Tootsie for example, it's certainly a fun one. And I bet ya didn't know that Tootsies were once billed as "quick energy pick-me-ups!" too!
I love the factoid "enough energy in a tootsie roll to skate 2 1/2 miles." Now I have a lot of "but actually" for that but it's said so confidently and the entire comic is designed around it that I just love it.
ReplyDeleteThe art is over-all great, especially at the overall cramped panel layout.
So Tootsie Rolls are the good captain's spinach?
ReplyDeleteAbove average art for a one page ad. One page comic book artists should have taken note
ReplyDeleteI did a quick look on the web and found that C.C. Beck and Peter Costanza worked on Captain Marvel. That explains why both Captain Marvel and Tootsie look like fraternal twins.
