Greetings, pulpophiles! In this episode, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie
(@reggiereggie) step back into the "between pages" of comic books, known
as Classic Comic Book Advertisements, the Return! First, they'll detail
the history and innovations of GRIT magazine, despite never having seen
a copy. Then, they discuss Joe Orlando and his unforgettable ad for Sea
Monkeys, as well as the dark secret behind these "instant" aquatic life
forms...and it's not that they aren't monkeys. Finally, the
impressionable hosts talk about two-dimensional toy soldiers, the ads
that enticed them, and the man who drew two of the most memorable ones,
Russ Heath! It's an episode jam-packed with commercialism, and you won't
even have to pay C.O.D.
