| Pal Ron Murphy emailed these 2 images that seem to be the artwork for a series of shirt or car ads from the 50s. Never before I have I seen a character in a painting so obviously contemplating the bloody murder of his entire family. If anyone has the entire advertisement as it appeared, please let me know. I can't wait to collect the whole series of serial killer dads! |
The bottom one is definitely 'I'll show them, yes... I'll show them all'
ReplyDeleteWhat site did your pal Ron Paul (sorry, Ron Murphy) see these images on? Wasn't there any info about them?
ReplyDeleteMystery solved!
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch,
Re: the most ominous adv of all time post, these are not car or shirt ads. These are ads for Goodyear.

If you use flickr, I invite you to join the vintage advertising group, which I moderate
http://www.flickr.com/groups/vintage_advertising/
You can browse the photostream even if you are not a flickr member, but many photos (ads) are available to flickr members only.
Cheers
