One month back in 1976, my mom got
an Avon catalog filled with little spot illos of
guys in Superman suits. I think the theme was "gifts
for your Superman" or something. Wish I still
had it.
Anyway, one of the actual Superman
products in the catalog was this hairbrush, which
obviously I just had to have. It's a fairly heavyweight
plastic with an inventive design, the only weak
point being Superman's soft facial features (his
face is merely painted on, with his nose the only
sculpted detail).
With unusual foresight, I resisted
the temptation to use this brush on a daily basis
(or maybe it's just that I was a slob!). My mom
recently dug it up and handed it over in the original
box! (see below)
Just for the record, even with this
officially authorized Super-brush I never did manage
to give myself an "S"-shaped spit curl.
