My grandparents used to have a saloon in nyc in the 40's. big watering hole for newspaper people. the walls were covered in cartoon art. (my grandmother was the secretary to the head of king features.) anyhoo, my crazy grandfather fancied himself quite the cartoonist as well. and these are some of the promo postcards they would hand out to choice pedestrians.

Those are all totally badass, and thanks for sharing scott! I wish I could get a filet of sole for 85 cents.

These are indeed awesome, except the "Drooping Man Sized Cocktails" one sounds a little suspect.
