Boo, Boo, Theme Song! - Fleischer Studios (1933)
Found this last weekend. This card of a lightly attired showgirl was produced in the 1920s by a Chicago company called Exhibit Supply.
Exhibit Supply made vending machines that, for a penny or two, dispensed photocards. The company produced cards of all sorts of subjects: baseball players, boxers, cowboy heroes, movie stars, cartoon characters, sideshow freaks, wrestlers, jokes and gags, fortunes, and pin-up girls.
The vending machines–especially the ones selling girlie pictures–were often located in theaters, pool halls, arcades, bars, military PXs, and other places young men gathered.
Exhibit Supply maintained a steady business and produced thousands of cards until the late 1960s when it finally succumbed to changing market conditions.

Was delighted to stumble upon this in an antique store up in Ypsilanti, MI. A comic of neglected Universal sci fi-horror pic The Mole People (1956).
Robert Agar and friends fall into an underground city of Sumerians shut-off from the outer world for millennia. The albino subterranean dwellers survive by enslaving the bizarre Mole People to do their work and harvest their food, leaving the lost civilization plenty of time for court intrigue, religious rituals, wild pagan dancing, and human sacrifice.
Remember staying up late and watching this on Chiller Theater with my cousins as a kid. The Mole People are great looking, right up there with the Metaluna Mutant. The weird pseudoscience speechifying intro, the "decadent" inner earth dwellers, the strange look of the Sumerians, the Mole People revolution, the not-quite right erotic dancing... All of it must have helped warp my little mind.
No gods. No masters. Triple hash browns.
Poster for "The Four of Us" (1974). US release of French sexploitation picture "Jeux Pour Couples Infideles." Poster art by the incredible Robert McGinnis.
45 years ago this weekend was Shuttlecon II, a Central Ohio convention for Star Trek fans held in one of the buildings at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. Campus in the late 1970s and early 1980s was a hotbed of science fiction fandom. James Doohan (Scotty), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), Walter Koenig (Chekov), and Star Trek: The Motion Picture scribe Alan Dean Foster were the guests of honor.
Researching it, I discovered a program from the 1980 event on eBay for $3. Delighted when it got here to discover it was autographed by all four of the Star Trek notables attending the convention!! For $3!!!
Charmed by the sponsoring ads for long-gone Columbus businesses, like University Flick, Monkey’s Retreat, Deibel’s, and Bonanza (“Trek on in!”)
The convention notes were so full of hope and optimism, a certainty that we were at the dawn of a better age, that the humanistic ideals of Star Trek were about to become the guiding lights of a new world. They could have never imagined what our world of 2025 would look like.
Anyway, live long and prosper. Maybe we’ll get there yet.
Merry Xmas, Tumblr!
Bing Crosby was so moved by Lawrence Tierney’s Christmas album that he quit singing his holiday standards for 20 years. It took David Bowie to coax him out of “Christmas retirement.” Crosby last words were reportedly cursing Tierney for making an album “so beautiful that it put God’s works to shame.”
Another SANTA OF YORE! The Père Noëls on vintage French postcards (Not that kind!) are... different.
