Follies of the Madmen #409
The man and the women are plainly inhabitants of totally different cartoon universes, the inverse relationship of Roger and Jessica Rabbit. This rather destroys the impact of the whole ad.

Original ad here.
I find this ad too creepy for me even to register the product, as if it were something out of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
But perhaps that's because I was seriously creeped out by this comic book cover when I was a kid!
