An Ode and Adieu to Hostess, with a nod to a certain 1978 Super Dictionary entry. Remember these ads, kids?

But seriously, could you imagine if LexCorp bought Hostess and stated selling pastries?

Remember the days when Lex Luthor was a mad scientist who hated Superman because Superman was (at least partly) responsible for the loss of Lex's hair?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

My friend somehow got a secondhand copy of the Super Dictionary with no cover and the entries after "y"completely torn out. One of the reasons I bought it off him (for five bucks) was for that specific entry.

You reproduce it fantastically, everything is rendered perfectly, and it's a great nod to the dictionary, the beloved ads of the seventies, as well as the unfortunate downfall of Hostess a few weeks ago.

Oh well, at least we have this drawing.

Love it Bill, it's pretty damn charming if you ask me.

40 is such an abstract number, but when you break it down and realize it's as much as 4 Bo Derricks, you really begin to understand how heinous is crime really was.
