I hit puberty in the late 80s. That face graced the back of a lot of porno mags. I got to know it well as the afterglow image.

I still don't see how this was bad for kids (according to concerned parents of the day)....but the Camel got canned...

Even when I was a kid, joe camel really did not compell me to smoke... if anything, I just thought he had an ugly nose

Still, I can't unsee it as a penis…it'll always be a penis for me now.
