@MatureCanadianDr. Mr. Canadian:Thank you very much for the info on one of the pictures in Opus’ newspaper in yesterday’s strip! Yes, sir, you are totally right!Apparently that ad campaign lasted for over 20 years! That made me suspect that the other picture was also an old ad for bras. And indeed it is, from 1943:
I noticed when Go Comics first started carrying Bloom County 2015 that they were a few days behind compared to the Bloom County facebook page. I think it has remained behind and with little problem except for sundays and holidays being a bit off.
@Strod – as an aside, a similar brassier these days would go for around $29! Maidenform is still in the business. Love those “rocket” bras; too many ‘minimizer’ bras in today’s market.
@Strod: I knew the mother of the Maidenform Bra model. (Yes, it was the same model in all the ads — different wigs, different costumes, etc.). Mom kept all of daughter’s letters and ads in a scrapbook. Fun reading. Modeling isn’t nearly as glamorous as it is made out to be.
