Time For Ice Cream (1), 1947/48

A promotion put out by the National Dairy Council, Chicago, IL.

These drawings are what happens when Forties WPA Cubism meets a postwar daydream of Mom, Flag, and Apple Pie (a la mode). Watch them hang out together for hours, reveling in the wonder of icy cold vanilla-flavored FREEDOM!

Also, they talk frequently about a variety of dessert called "New York Ice Cream." I once spent several hours in New York, but I have no idea what that is.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
