Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock in happier days, before he was really hitting the bottle. :/

Yes, I did buy and read this a few months ago. And yes, I loved it. :D

If you feel that the first image is looking right at us reproachfully, you're not wrong. The instructions do refer to it as an "eye joint."

Most of the arty drawings of hardworking meat men were too faint to be scanned well, but at least we have this guy.

Jeez. Is that crowd on loan from a wax museum? Are they waiting for James Bond to burst in and shake things up?

At least Helen got an actual name. Poor Bride. Also, I don't see or hear any Boss in this story. I bet Groom made him up because he hasn't found work yet and the women are just playing along out of pity.

I've got a tip for all Lever Sisters: when cooking on-camera, don't pinch up your whole face as if the cat just used its litter box on the other side of the counter and then didn't cover up.

Progress of a sort. But, it would be another half-century before flat-screens would solve the problem of cats lounging on top of TVs.

One last look at a few of the fun pictures in this volume. Sorry I couldn't post more, but the year's almost over and it's time to move on.

Let's skip past the pages about breakfast (Applesauce + toast = "Sandwich." Yay.) and about how canned pineapple makes your hot dog a Hawaiian vacation. It's lunchtime.

L. I don't get why they're very specific sometimes regarding what to drink at lunch. But here, they just tell you to have a "beverage." Maybe they hoped for "Turn To Sandwiches II" and wanted to save some innovations for later...?

R. Proletarian Pete's corner has both the most awkward pose and the best sandwich/snack names.

I'm not sure what publication is to blame for this. However, I definitely have a good prospect for this year's Halloween mask.

I admit that I doctored this to look like a double-page spread. It's just cooler that way.

Also, there should've been a banner below the whole thing saying, "ONE YEAR LATER..." but much like "Other Bride" I found myself pressed for time. [shrug]

Yes, all our foodstuffs were lovingly prepped by off-duty nurses. That's why our chicken soup is 50% more therapeutic than that of our leading competitor.

Pity poor Mother. Shunted back to the home when the boys returned, she spends this whole narrative working like a dog to get everyone else their delicious dairy treats. Not once do we ever see her sitting down to partake herself.

Note that Mrs. Reynolds' innards have themselves clearly been transformed into compressed foil, which negates any pedestrian need she once had to actually eat food.
