I saw this item on Golden Age Comic Book Stories a few weeks back, and it reminded me that modern perceptions of past eras often overlook the unusual. When thinking of the late 1940's/early 1950's, the first images to one's mind might be very nostalgic, retro Ozzie & Harriet scenes. This post featuring monthly images from the 1949-1950 Gnome Press Calendars demonstrates that quirky weirdness was alive and well in 1949. My favorite was this "Revenge of the Turkey"-styled image for the month of November.
