Funny that I remembered pubic hair from an age when I really wouldn’t have had a good idea what it looked like. ---

A similar one that I still remember was a woman comes out by a pool proudly showing off her bathing suit and says, “Thanks for letting me borrow your new bikini” and the other girl says, “That’s not a bikini; it’s underwear!” and suddenly the first girl is embarrassed. ---

Togs or Undies? Trumpet Ice-cream commercial. Spoilered for budgie-smuggling. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyd0ey\_FXB8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyd0ey_FXB8) ---

Quite a contrast from his earlier appearance: [https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/square\_small/2/27783/1120342-earlybillgaines.jpg](https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/square_small/2/27783/1120342-earlybillgaines.jpg) ---

This reminds me of a great fold-in. It was about how color tv was so great. The joke was that you could tell the dancers were wearing leotards in color, while you would be disatisfied by the B&W picture, thinking they were nude. ---

The joke was that you could tell the dancers were wearing leotards in color, while you would be disatisfied by the B&W picture, thinking they were nude. This wasn’t a fold-in. It was just a back inside (?) cover fake ad for “[RCA Victim](http://big13.com/NBC%20Peacock/NBCPeacock_mad_parody.htm)”. April, 1959. Well before the start of their fold-ins. ---

Al Jaffee is still alive and still painting Fold-Ins at 96. That’s crazy. Pun not intended. ---

Well before the start of their fold-ins. Look more closely. The ad says “ **RGA** Victim”. I guess they were really being careful about not being confused with an actual RCA ad.
