It’s hard to choose favorites today because they’re ALL great, right? #2 with the eyes and body language, #4 with the plunger (!), #5 with Joe sleeping under the counter, #6 the neurotic “Starbucks” customer, and finally #7. The piece de resistance of degradation. The waitress/wife saying this to the customer with her husband mere feet to her right, and a sink full of dirty dishes behind her. Can you get any more American than that?
I like the variations of simplicity-complexity of the cartoon artwork. A lot (minus the prices) hasn’t changed that much, including the tempting cake/pie displays with the clear lids.
