I now have super-powers thanks to the generosity of my two daughters and the wonderful present they gave a few years ago. I love my new set of X-Ray Spex [sic] which makes a man to be dealt with.
This new ability to see through things, especially the garments of shapely, beautiful women (gasp) makes me darn near delirious with anticipation of wandering the streets and discovering a whole new world.
What do you mean it's an illusion? What do you mean that I really cannot penetrate the privacy of beautiful dames with my lusty glare? What do you mean I'm a perverted old fart for even wanting to do so? I am so disappointed!
But at least I'll look exceptionally cool.

X-ray Specs has to be one of the most iconic adverts of our generation. Although you could buy them in the UK I never bought a pair, so in my mind they work as noted in the ad ( of course they werent) For me, these ads were as much a part of the comic book experience as the comic strip itself.
ReplyDeleteThere was indeed something about the total package, ads and all which made reading a comic. Modern ones still have ads, but they are so slick I barely notice them.
ReplyDeleteNever ordered any of the originals, but I bought a blister-carded re-issue of these about a decade ago or so. Imagine my disappointment! Held on to 'em for a while, then tossed 'em. I can get better images from Cannon and Axa strips!
ReplyDeleteThey were designed for disappointment. Welcome to the club.
