Face by Norman Rockwell...and while he may have rendered it to spec, I'm guessing he wasn't the one proposing/imposing the boldly clumsy graphic concept. Was he rollin' his eyes at it?
(For one his his great mag covers somewhere, Rockwell could've cooked up a great scene of semi-manic admen-weasels in a small, messy agency room pitching and arguing slick and addled concept mock-ups that compete on the wall and clutter the table.)

As I was scrolling down, the script font and the words "cream of" made me think this was a soup ad. Then again, maybe this is what passes for the soup course in Kentucky. If so, I'm in!

I tend to associate inverted triangles with gay pride, so I did some research on inverted triangles and it turns out Nazis were using them to tag gay and lesbian prisoners. I learned something today! But it probably has nothing to do with this ad.
