Hostess Ad - "Twinkies and Kelp"

sg
This is the last of the Aquaman-centric Hostess ads I had yet to post; like the others it features a story so simple it borders on dada-ism, and is drawn by what looks, to me, like Curt Swan and Vince Colletta.

I like how generally pissy Aquaman is in this ad, but since he apologizes for it in the end, all is well.

Fun Fact: That top panel shot of Aquaman was re-purposed for an Aquaman sticker, but with a small addition:

Thanks, Aquaman! You bet!

This Aqua-Riffic photo was posted yesterday over at my pal Swinebread's blog Atomic Romance.

Swinebread's family recently expanded by one--a healthy baby boy--so I enrolled the child in my Aquaman Baby Indoctrination Program, which consists of me sending the infant a brand-new Aquaman WB Store Beanie Doll, to hopefully instill a lifelong love of the Sea King. The next generation of F.O.A.M. members has to come from somewhere.

So I was glad to see Aqua-Beanie arrived safe and sound, and will soon be getting drooled on. Congrats Swinebread!

Has anyone else noticed that the Aquaman Beany looks like a blond version of George Eads who plays Nick on CSI Vegas? I have one at home too.
