The Grotties.
This formed the center of a
poster published by Sterling Magic Creations Inc. in 1981. Below is the
poster title followed by some of the humorous
comments which ran around the cartoon perimeter.

You'll Know IF: You drop a palmed coin while trying to impress Slydini. You saw a lady in half and suddenly discover you need an awful lot of glue. You absent-mindedly use your gimmicked locking coins to tip the paperboy. During the graceful beauty of your dove act, the bird decides to, well never mind. You're sure you forced the proper card. . . and didn't. You do the Aga Levitation and dumbly bump the gooseneck with the hoop. You stick your thumb into a tip and find the cigarette keeps burning. You do an escape act at a country fair and ten Eagle Scouts volunteer to do the tying. Your collapsible birdcage. . . doesn't. Your Sub Trunk trap decides you need a nose job and does it for you. Rather than your standard 20th Century Silks you inadvertently pack the bra version and dash off to do a charity performance at a local convent. Your Zombie slips off the gimmick and rolls across the stage while you stand there doing. . . what? The orchestra plays your theme, Flash Appearance powder ignites and the black art roller jams half-way up. While doing Cards from Mouth, your dentures follow them. You begin to do the Linking Rings and find the key ring was somehow left behind at home. When concluding, you take a deep deserved bow and never again in your life trust a zipper. |
