Well, lookie here! It’s Marge’s old pal, Charlie Hustle, and
he’s selling something. What a surprise!
When I’m not slaving away over a hot drawing board working
on the Zombie Marge strip, you will find me tinkering with my other favorite
project, SHAM Comics. I’ve posted some here before. Briefly, I take public
domain Golden Age stories and advertising, scanned from old comic books, erase
the original text and rewrite them in ridiculous new ways. Because the original
printing was often so bad, they are pretty easy to touch up without making them
look worse. The trick is to write a story that fits the original illustrations
and tell a story that is both funny and coherent. Often I like to add a bit of
social commentary as well.
Dale Trush, who serves as the official proofreader for all
things Zombie Marge, brought this ad to me. He’s a fan of 70s comics and
pointed out several potentially hilarious ads, like OJ selling running shoes.
Thanks, Dale.
