A couple more subverts, and advert-related snippets
Maryland cookies. "More important than your child's future. (If you're a woman, that is.)"
Cheese strings. "You will be so infuriated by the nonsensicality of this advert that it will actually be physically painful for you to remember the product's name, but we don't care, we've been paid."
Incidentally, can anyone remember the name of that artist in the sixties who did very detailed silhouettes of people against swirly psychedelic backgrounds? Same sort of vintage as Kay Nielsen, but I don't think it was her.
And is anyone not immediately charmed by the idea of a car you can drive up in, get out of and then pick up like a piece of cloth and take away rolled up under your arm?

Kay Nielsen's artwork comes from the 1910s, really - he just got rediscovered (by Gallery 5) in the 60s. I used to have posters of the illustrations from East of the Sun and West of the Moon on my bedroom walls back then, and now I have the prints from a breaker copy of same framed all over the house. Ah, consistency.
