Sunday Meskin Measures.

Mort Meskin drawing dinosaur. What more do you need to know? After that, I have added one of the long running Volto ads for Post's Grape-Nut Flakes by Frank Robbins. I knew they were collected on the web somewhere and after some searching I found them, collected by science fiction expert Arthur Lortie.

Intermezzo From Mars Wednesday advertisement Day. I was going to share a coupel of pages from the ad strip Volto from Mars with you, but googling the history and creators for this strip I found out that the incomprable Art Lorrtie has already liberated all of these strips on a website of their own. He also ads that the artits were not onloy Frank Robbins (which I knew) but also Al Plastino (one of the biggest of all stylistic chameleons, who not only did these in a Milt Canifdf style, but also is said to have drawn a whole years of replacement strips for Peanuts for the Syndicate (even though they never saw print). Go and look for yourself. I am going to scramble for a replacement. http://voltoarchives.pbwiki.com/
