I, too, love encouraging mice and bugs to hang around all my fancy leather-and-gold antique books.

Hey, look! Tourists from Scotland love our product! Front and back of an 8-section fold-out promotional published by Jesse Jewell's in Gainesville, Georgia. Shown slightly larger than original size. (Originally posted to flickr on February 8th, 2011.)

Our food has garlic in it! And chili powder (next page)! We're living on the edge now, America! At least for once, the Hawaiian lady isn't dancing for a boggling flock of pale tourists...

...And the Mexican guy isn't being depicted fast asleep next to a cactus. I'll take what I can get.

Above, left: Is Mom using the soup to open Dad's pores, or what? Above, right: I'm backing away slowly from the caricature, not to mention the "Oriental Mood." Gah. Below, left: What Mom's really saying there is, "Mea Culpa, Kids. We can have cheeseburgers from the drive-thru next week. I promise." Below, right: "Those three bacon strips are all the meat we can afford this month, Gents. Sip slowwwwwwly, and remember how much I love you."

When bananas got into trouble back then, their press agent talked privately with Hearst and made sure that the public never found out...

Hahahah!! Ladies, your husband thinks you're a domestic animal! C'mon! It's FUNNYYY!!! [groan] Well, the photographs are nice, at least. :/ (I don't know whether Chandoha himself wrote the "jokes," or if the actual writer understandably refused to take credit.) From the October issue of Everywoman's magazine.

An entire tablespoon of chili powder to serve-- six people! Madness! Thank Heaven that we have plenty of frozen vanillin and cool, sparkling sugar water on hand to keep the whole family from certain doom! Clipped from the July issue of Everywoman's magazine.

Other exciting highlights from the recipe section: Avocado Tuna Mold, Peas and Tuna Casserole, Creamed Tuna Variations, Baked Tuna and Noodles, Tuna Rice Ring, Tuna Curry Casserole, Tuna Souffle, Tuna Delight, Ripe Olive Tuna Loaf, Peppers Stuffed With Tuna, Mackerel Loaf, and Sardine Cheese Spread. You can kind of see why the Distress Signals were necessary.

A probable sequel to this . As before, I'd suggest focusing on the pictures and not the "jokes."

"...And then Groundskeeper Willie turned into an owl a-and asked if he could touch my 'chill chest.' And then Weird Al offered me a backup role in his "Rocky Road" video, but some phallic processed cheeses showed up yelling about 'purity' and totally ruined our moment!! And that's when I woke up! Doctor, what does it all mean?!" Clipped from the March issue of Sunset Magazine.

A menu featuring refined sugar in (almost) every course, and an alien bunny landing via a Giant Cosmic Space Egg. Happy Easter, Kids! Front and back of a promotional published by Armour & Co.

"Mexican Meat, Cornbread Topping." Served with a generous side of vaguely disturbing kitsch. At least you get permission to add more than 1/2 tsp. of chili powder to the skillet "if your family likes 'real hot' food..." What a relief, huh?
