Crude Hotel

Following my post late last month on the peculiarly childish ad campaign currently promoting Santa Barbara’s posh San Ysidro Ranch, I was encouraged — less than pleasantly, I’ll note — to do some research into other in-print runs on grounds that the one I initially focused on — “Frumpish Couple,” seen below — was not necessarily representative.

First, “Fansee Advurtyzin’”:



“Rest on Your Laurels”:


“We Have a Secret”:


And my personal favorite:


I shall have to get the number of whoever drew these up.
