The very fine Golden Age Comic Book Stories weblog has been on a serious William Bendix weekend bender that's showcasing lots of great movie posters and magazine ads, including this loaded-with-subtext advertisement for Tootsie Rolls from Nellie Comics, starring a purse-carrying beefcake superhero named "Captain Tootsie" who takes a group of obnoxious kids to the movies so they can cheer a scene from the William Bendix film, Johnny Holiday, that proudly features a box of the turd-like, cavity-pulling candies being given to a hospitalized mother. I've never seen this film, but I'm betting that Mom dies soon after from a blocked colon.
