I think that's one that Duck signed off before he left Sterling-Cooper, isn't it?

Gravity defying spaghetti and gravity defying teeth. I would like to see this chuckle head eat an apple.

Is the boy with spaghetti a Norman Rockwell portrait?

[QUOTE="Skeet" McD]Let's not even ask what's on his hat: perhaps he borrowed daddy's fishing hat?

The [lack of] perspective in the face-part is quite amazing: from the way the hair drops off the lack-of-forehead, it appears quite....flat. Sort of like a rubber-faced doll pushed against a windowpane. Easy to do with a computer, I suppose....but took some real doing old-style. Odd in the extreme. Also notice the apparently empty sleeve in the foreground...and the rather LARGE hand holding the can. There appears to be a signature....do we know who the artist was?

Possibly a commentary on his disturbingly skinless hotdogs (left hand).

I wasn't sure if they were hot-dogs or really strange breadsticks. "WHAT THE (expletive) DO I DO WITH THESE, MOM?!"

Maybe smoking stunted his growth?

The Philip Morris page is quite the antithesis to The Marlboro Man.....

Reminds me of those awful bellboy statues people put outside their houses. I always feel like they're going to chase me.

I work for an organization that helps people quit smoking and...

I've sent this evil bellboy to some of my coworkers to marvel over.
