Wednesday Ad Strip Day.
One of the longer running comic strip as campaigns was Camels celebrity endorsment series. Popular figures from tv, movies and radio lent their visage for a comic strip endorsement. Alsways easier than turning up in person. This series went on all through the forties and into the sixties and is a favorite amog collectors because of the celebrity conection. I have many mre coorsamles unscanned, but there at least one among this batch of forties samples. The artist is unknown to me and doesn't bear the hallmarks of one of the Johnstone and Cushing regulars.
