Doom Patrol/Oldschool Comic Ads are awesome |

So I'm reading Doom Patrol (the classic issues) and I fucking love stilted 1960's comix dialogue. But then there's this:

YIII. It's like some sort of incanta-----OHSHIT.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

OH GOD IT'S COMING!!!!

Also on that same page was this ad:

LONG TIME, LONG TIME!
Still, the ad's not "edgy" enough. Not cool enough to be modern. So I fixed it:

I deconstructed it. And then, to make it more edgy, I REMOVED ALL TRACES OF EDGES IN THE PICTAR. Inability to tell what the product is? Oh, seen plenty of those... FOr that matter:

Is this a Tootsie Roll or a poopie?
To make it even more modern, I added a slogan:

SEE THERE'S A MOVIE REFERENCE AND SEX BEST AD EVER.
LONG TIME
