Wednesday Advertising Day.
To go with the Hi and Lois strips from yesterday, here are some more ads that I believe were done by Browne.
From True, May 18 1949:

From July 5 1959 (a two week frequency was normal on these type of ads, so there should be more):

I recently found a 1952 book illustrated by Dik Browne, which I will share soon. In the meantime, if anyone has this advertising comic book, please get in touch so I can show th insides as well.

Thanks for the great posts of Dik Browne art! Has there been any collections of his stuff published?
Seems worthy to me!

I think some of it was used in the Best of Hi and Lois book from Brain Walker. But I agree, a book on the art of Dik Browne would be welcome. My guess is the family still has a lot of stuff. At least, a book on the art of advertising firm Johnstone and Cushing would be great.
