Continuing ... Topps Monster Cards

Here are more of what I call Topps's Monster Cards:
 The above image references the 1972 Alka-Seltzer commercial with the same tagline.

 You'll note that some other female face has been pasted in over that of Wolf Man actress 
Maria Ouspenskaya.



My grandkids are sick of hearing my variation on the above gag:
Q:  Why is there a fence around the cemetery?
A:  Because people are just dying to get in!

And the follow-up:
Q:  How many dead people are in there?
A:  All of them!

See you on Monday, fiends and lashes!

Welcome Back to the Munsters Mob!


Here are more images from the 1964 Whitman The Munsters coloring book, which was colorized by three generations before I removed it from circulation.

In the story presented here, the adult Munsters have been invited to a costume party by Marilyn's new beau.  Poor Marilyn, she's sooo plain ...



And here's a cleaned-up page for you youngsters to print and color!


Ta-ta, friends!  See you back here on Friday!
