Your Future Husband
Your Future Husband
will be a Spanish bull fighter, and how he can throw the bull. The ladies will all love him. You will not have any trouble with blondes, but watch out for those black eyed senoritas, the kind who shake a wicked hip. Should his love grow cold, throw a few more red peppers in his cili con carne, and he will show a lot more hot-cha-cha. Your home will be blessed with five little fire eaters.

Viivi and Wagner from Finland

Viivi & Wagner is a somewhat absurdist Finnish newspaper comic strip drawn by Jussi "Juba" Tuomola.
The titular main characters are Viivi, a Finnish woman in her twenties, and Wagner, a mature male pig. Wagner has all human characteristics and feelings, yet still considers himself a pig instead of a human. Though often mistaken for married, the two are cohabitating in an Odd Couple-ish relationship and genuinely fond of each other when not bickering.

I love that the jelly bean on the tractor is harvesting other jelly beans on the farm! Would that be like a person growing and harvesting other people?? lol
The Jelly Belly Candy Company, or simply Jelly Belly, is a maker of jelly beans and other candy, formerly known as The Herman Goelitz Candy Company. The company is based in Fairfield, California and produces more than 34 million pounds (15,000 tonnes) of candy annually.
Belly Flops
In the process of making Jelly Belly beans some of the beans stick together, are too large or too small, making them not meet the standards of quality. These imperfect beans, rather than being scrapped, are repackaged as Belly Flops. Belly Flops are sold in five ounce, one pound, or two pound packages at the Jelly Belly factory, other select stores.

Alfred E. Neuman for Roosevelt
Sure - I'm for Roosevelt
If you are opposed to the Third Term send these to your friends. 15 cards for 25 c. Send coin or stamps. Send to....
1940

Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot and cover boy of Mad magazine.
Since his debut in Mad, Neuman's likeness, distinguished by jug ears, a missing front tooth, and one eye lower than the other has graced the cover of all but a handful of the magazine's 500 issues. His face is rarely seen in profile; he has virtually always been shown in full frontal view, directly from behind, or in silhouette. Harvey Kurtzman first spotted the image on a postcard pinned to the office bulletin board of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff. "It was a face that didn't have a care in the world, except mischief," recalled Kurtzman.
Neuman's image was also used negatively, as a "supporter" of rival political candidates, with the idea that only an idiot would vote for them. In 1940, those opposing Franklin Delano Roosevelt's third-term reelection bid distributed postcards with a similar caricature bearing the caption, "Sure I'm for Roosevelt"

Monster of Everyday Life
Monster des Alltags - No. 14
individualismus, der
lat. ostentatio abnormis
Der Individualismus ist ein radikaler Rebell. Er hilft seinem Opfer, sich als unverwechselbare, authentische Einzelperson zu definieren und von den oberflachlichen Äußerlichkeiten der Masse abzugrenzen. Und das geht nun mal am besten durch Äußerlichkeiten.
translation:
Monster of everyday life - no. 14
individualism, the
Latin ostentatio abnormis
Individualism is a radical rebel. He helps his victims to define themselves as unique, authentic individual and distinct from the utterances of the surface-mass. And you just can best be superficial.

This is an illustration from the book 'Tierisch Unter Strom by Peter Gut. It is a book where, from what I understand, animals test machines. A cat rides fan blades like a carouse, and as in the postcard above, zebras test the catapult power of a toaster. It is the animals way of braking the same old routine.
