Follies of the Mad Men #57

[From Look magazine for April 19 1966.]

This hideous creature is giving me the whim-whams. It's a total juju fetiche. I cannot imagine how any ad man thought this frightful apparition would sell towels. You just know that it's going to scoop out some housewife's eyes with the spoon and scramble her brains with the whisk, all while beating the courageous but small family dog with those wooden legs.

Oh, those are legs? I thought the dude had a bifurcated penis.

A bifurcated penis that's been painted to differentiate port from starboard!

But aren't they reversed? "Red on the Right Returning"

Poor P'zazzz, the paper towel demon, he suffers from a strange and serious form of dyslexia.

Could be the photo is just transposed. All Hail the great P'zazzz, culinary master of the Elder Gods and keeper of the Caserole of Chaos!

Awww, it's adorable! I just want to hug him and squeeze him and pet him and call him George...

Martel - I don't want to be around any kind of penis that doesn't know if it's coming or going.
