I don’t have a tear sheet or a copy of the finished drawing of the above cartoon, which was bought by Nutrition Health Review in 1980. But I did find my first sketchy draft of the gag, so I’m posting that. I hope you can read the sign on the wall.
Explanation: In 1992, when this cartoon was published by Dartnell, it seemed to me that anything that was advertised had the tagline “The Official ——— of the 1992 Olympics”. Nobody uses that tagline anymore. Maybe it was banned for legal reasons, or maybe advertisers realized that it didn’t have any effect on the overall sales of the item.
