creature creations™

...yeah, here it is, dustier and crappier than most.  I found this ad in a Secrets of Haunted House comic from April of 1978.  "Meet the funniest, craziest,  most gruesome family of creatures to arrive from outer space", the ad begs.  It gets more tragic: "These 8 1/2" x 11" posters feature the first of these creatures to fly this side of the galazy.  There are more coming, so start collecting NOW! Each poster is printed in full color (TRUE COLORS NOT SHOWN), and is ideal for framing."
  This is very funny to me.  First off, the drawings suck hard.  Most fifth grade kids can scratch better shit onto the front of a binder with the pointy end of a geometry compass.  Here's what happened - Some stoners got together, and one of them drew one of these masterpieces.  His buddy was like "Whooooooa!  Far out maan!", so they pooled their meager savings of 300$ or whatever, put this ad in Secrets of Haunted House, and waited for the bucks to just fuckin' come a'rollin' right in.  No one bought any, I'm thinking.  Screw it, I'm sending them 5$ for the whole set, and I'll frame the bastards.
