hey @@LarrysLibrary i saw an ad from a comic book for people to buy live monkeys?? my neighbor said he remembered seeing them in Spiderman comics when he was a kid do you know anything about these ads? i am just wondering what comics they were in that is crazy haha
@@LarrysLibrary well it’s promising all these toys that end up being real small. Things like the sea monkeys and x-ray glasses, books promising things that they can’t do and trying to get you to sell crappy products for a little bit of money.
@@LarrysLibrary oh and don’t get me started on those products where they try to get you to sell something but you have to buy the products for and they are things people won’t really buy.
@@LarrysLibrary I just feel like a lot of those ads were trying to exploit kids. In the 90s you had the “get your kids through college with comics” ads. Which in my opinion was also exploiting kids and also adults because they knew all those comics they were putting out in the 90s weren’t going to be worth what the comics in the 70s and before.
I remember the Power Pack and Spidey PSA
I think that ran for a few years

@@Sarah_Gravydog316 I've only seen the ones for SEA Monkeys not regular monkeys
I always thought most of the toys in comic ads were scams.😂
I guess it's the lack of photos in most of them?
