WAS GOING TO DO THE OPENING PACKS THING AGAIN LIKE LAST YEAR BUT I CAN'T AFFORD NEW PACKS AND THE ONES I HAVE ARE BORING SO PIVOTED TO MY CURRENT OBSESSION: OLD-ASS COMIC BOOK ADS. CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT THE ADVERTISING NOWADAYS AND I CAN MAIL THIS IN IF THE HOLIDAYS KICK MY ASS LIKE THEY DO EVERY YEAR
AND NOW FOR THE HOLIDAY JOLLY CHEERS! LET'S START WITH PURE PANDERING TO MY AUDIENCE
TRANSFORMERS #7 AUGUST 1986
THIS COMIC JUST APPEARED IN MY HOUSE ONE DAY AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW. I GUESS I BOUGHT IT WHEN I WAS A KID BUT I HAVE NO MEMORY OF IT AT ALL?? IT'S NONSENSE ABOUT RATCHET BUSTING INTO SOME KIDS CAMPING AND COOKING HOT DOGS AND OPTIMUS PRIME IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND SHOCKWAVE AND MEGETRON ARE FIGHTING AND THINGS HAPPEN??? I DON'T EVEN KNOW. LET'S START OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH A BLOG APPROPRIATE AD
BASEBALL AD. QUIK BUNNY CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO HIS HERO BUGS BUT BRIBE HIM WITH CHOCOLATE-LIKE FOOD SUBSTITUTE POWDER AND HE'LL FINALLY GET HIS ASS IN GEAR. YOU KNOW SOME POOR SCHLUB IN LOW-A BALL IS GONNA END UP GETTING AN 80-GAME SUSPENSION FOR TESTING POSITIVE FOR NESTLE QUIK IN VIOLATION OF MLB'S JOINT DRUG PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM. QUIK BUNNY DON'T CARE. SLURP!
ALMOST FORGOT THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Oh man, I still have that comic in storage. If I remember right, my mom bought it for me at the local K-Mart, it was part of a 3-pack of Transformers comics, but I didn't really dig it because I was a fan of the TV show and therefore the shenanigans they were up to in the comics were like some sort of alternate universe. Good times.
The ad worked. I'm gonna buy me some Nesle Quik this weekend. I'm crossing my fingers that they still make the banana flavor.
oh man i forgot all about banana quik
always wanted to combine chocolate strawberry and banana quik and make a banana split quik but even i wasn't that spoiled as a child
Sadly I didn't see banana flavor. But I did grab me some chocolate!
