"I spent the last year obsessively searching for ADVERTISEMENTS DISGUISED AS COMICS. I sifted through hundreds of magazines and old comics to find rare, kitschy, goofy, strange, and iconic advertisements that are, in fact, comics. Why did I do this? Why now? Who knows! Maybe because this form of advertising is close to (if not already) dead, and I miss it. I've always had a fascination with illustrated advertisements since I was a kid. Some ads in this book are incredibly corny—remnants of a certain era—and too ridiculous not to include. Others showcase an impressive amount of good comic work, making you forget that you’re looking at an advertisement shamelessly selling a product. I’d guess that’s due to the artist being given creative freedom to express themselves within the confines of the project.

During my digging, I discovered many of these ads were created by incredibly talented cartoonists you and I both know! I was shocked to find some of the names included in this book. Has every cartoonist taken a brief tour through the advertising world at one point or another?" - Sam
