Follies of the Mad Men #178
My questions:
1) Did girls and women acquire those same Charles Atlas muscleman biceps shown on the box, or just boys and men?
2) Do they eat Pep on the International Space Station today?
3) Does anyone today still say, "He's got pep!" or "I feel peppy!"...?
And if you haven't had enough cereal trivia, please allow me to highly commend this new book, which is a lot of fun. My review will appear soon at THE BARNES & NOBLE REVIEW.

Jay Can Do It
As the YouTube commentator says--and I paraphrase--"What the hell was the point of this film?!?"
Let's look at Jay, the hero.
1) Likes to bake.
2) Can't use a hammer.
3) Owns a poodle.
4) Sets up housekeeping with a fellow male.
5) Admires a man in uniform.
6) "Jay is musical."
7) Carries a pocketbook-style basket.
It's an early gay-pride PSA!

Mother’s Day
Upon hearing that his Mom had been shot, Kirkland broke out of jail (with only ten months left to serve) and went on a violence-filled revenge spree, including bursting from concealment in a car trunk with gun blazing.
Read about it here.
Now that's filial devotion!
