I'll admit that doesn't look good, but JR JR did do some nice art during that Daredevil run, just prior to developing his blockier style.  

He did, that's why I was surprised when I saw this one, I was hoping I'd still be in his "good art" era. Had never read this specific book until today.

Gorilla escapes and a boy just happens to WALKING AROUND THE ZOO WITH HIS .22 CALIBRE RIFLE?????

Not to mention the girl is walking around the ZOO with her bow & arrow.

AND..... of course the cops rush in to shake the kids hand and say, "You deserve a medal"

HOW did this ad make it past the Comics Code?

Good thing the gorilla speaks english and/or recognizes rifles and bows.

It's also possible that the primate can't stand the smell of Cloverine Brand Salve. Or was intimidated by confusing that with the aggressively masculine, musky fragrance of its better known competitor, Wolverine Brand Salve.

Coming up with this comic ad for "Cloverine Brand Salve" would have made such an awesome episode for "Madmen".

- Cloverine executives: "Mr Draper, how can we make our Salve..... EXCITING???"

- Don Draper: Takes a drag off his cigarette, stares into the distance, and then.... snaps his finger and says... "I've got it! An all-american 10 year old boy with a machine gun at the Zoo, and an escaped man-eating Gorilla!!!"

- Cloverine executives: "What does that have to do with our Salve?"

- Don Draper: "We're not selling Salve... we're selling testosterone & masculinity!"

- Cloverine executives: "Isn't a machine gun a bit much, I mean..... it's a 10 year old boy!"

- Don Draper: "Ok.... .22 calibre rifle.  And let's add a girl with a bow & arrow.  That'll bring in the female demographic."

Alright I feel kinda bad for this one, because it's Jim Lawson, a classic name for any TMNT fan. But let's be honest, his art isn't great, mainly his humans. Let's take a look. RCO033_1469329765.thumb.jpg.a243d40a71050d4c7d99d769370659ac.jpg

Panel one: the woman (Shadow) has breasts bigger than her chest, the face of a Muppet gone wrong, it's just bad. The guy, her boyfriend, looks like he's just wearing undies, but no, those are full pants. This is also the closest her eyes come to meeting, possibly ever. 

I know they were low budget indie, but they had better talent lined up wanting to work for them.

I had the wrong artist in mind. Sorry, Steve!

I'm trying to wrap my head around seeing 100 ten year olds running around the Zoo with their .22s and Bows and arrows.

Imagine the chaos.

Yeah, that's what I thought about too, especially seeing that last kid going off panel encouraging others to sell the stuff.  The end result implies cities full of kids running around with guns, bows and arrows, but of course the reality would have been this company using kids to push gobs of their salve on unsuspecting relatives and neighbors.  You'd probably have to sell gallons to even get a sniff of a bowstring.

Incidentally, a quick Google search shows this stuff has been around since 1860, is still being made and is described as a "white petrolatum salve" to prevent and temporarily protect chapped, chafed, burned or irritated skin anywhere on your body.  (Insert jokes here).

And now that I've done a Google search, I must prepare for the inevitable barrage of advertisements on body salve that I'll be receiving.  Just another bullet to take for the CGC Boards.

They're encouraging the carnage so they can swoop in with their salve to help with the injuries that will ensue.

I know they were low budget indie, but they had better talent lined up wanting to work for them. 

One of the first lessons when studying how to draw a human head is that the eyes are aligned half way down the oval of the human head.

Her eyes look like they're about 1/4 of the way down the oval (which means she has almost no brains I guess).

I still kind of like the art though.(shrug)

That time Dominic Fortune got clocked with an umbrella by Turner D. Century, then flew away with him on a bicycle-built-for-two
