ACACIA GUM: “The scent of beautiful women.”

With this one, you get to see the top part of the sketchbook page where I had handwritten the quote for the artist to draw. I usually crop that part out before I post these, but I didn’t want to lose any part of Jerry Dombrowski’s work. Jerry’s my one-time neighbor who used to do a comic called Hamtramck Funnies. He’s still around and, as far as I know, still drawing.

For another take on beautiful women and their scents, here’s a video montage of Acacia gum wrapper art, set to their mellow radio jingle.

Also, a European ad which touts Haitai as “thoroughly un-American gum.” It’s not Acacia gum, but it still seems appropriate for this post.
