20 Bonkers Classic Comics Adverts You Won't Believe
3. Free Miniature Monkey
The same company offered YOUR NEW, REAL, LIVE MINIATURE DOG, with the poor little critter also perched in a tea cup and pleading PLEASE GIVE ME A HOME (tiny print) at almost (big print) NO COST! Which is pretty a. exotic and b. ridiculous in the first place, but compared to the shadowy Dean Studios' similar offer for an (almost) free miniature monkey, it just doesn't cut it. Not that either really makes good on their claim. Well, you could actually get a dog, it's just that you had to sucker twenty friends into ordering hand coloured enlargements of photos they send in to Dean Studios. Why would you want that? Not sure.
