I'M ON SATURDAY MORNING TV, MUTHAF&%$ER

The Vintage Comic Book Ad Project had a new infusion of content over the weekend, including several Saturday morning cartoon promotional ads that the networks used to run. (This was before Nickelodeon and Cartoon Planet, kids).

My favorite: this one for CBS, which was anchored by, of all people, Richard Pryor:

Then there's this one from NBC in 1984 that includes "Mister T," (I always thought it was Mr. T), and a small plug for David Hasselhoff:

Lastly, there's this one anchored by The Fonz, who I guess had a morning cartoon in the early 1980s when "Happy Days" was really big:

The entire project, now 67 ads strong, can be found by clicking here.
