I've been perusing some comms while I set up my new journal and found (via a friend's journal), vintage_ads. Fun to comment on, and a great window into culture of the past.

I wouldn't overlook the influence of Frederic Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent and resulting Comics Code. Both happened in 1954. And of course WW was impacted by Marston's death in 1947.

vintage_ads looks like great fun. I'm rather fond of bygonefashion myself.

I'll have to check that out! Thanks. :)
