Yes I will admit, I have not idea what the butterfly means?

Play on words? Talking about the butter in her grocery bag?

Meaning that when she trips and falls, the butter will fly? (And why are her knickers around her ankles, nudge nudge, wink wink?)

You beat me to it! I didn't even have to scroll down to see the panties and the signature -- as soon as I saw the grocery bags and her expression of cheery distress, I knew it was Art Frahm! I always imagined the panty stuff was for men's mags, though. I never imagined it was actually used in mainstream ads. I wonder where this ad appeared.

Wow! A blizzard of bloomer-drop! Ac-celery-ated! And here this Turner guy is jumping...or humping...unashamedly on the Frahmwagon, groceries and all.

I agree. This is a very poor knockoff.

LOL. My first thought was, "No Celery, can't be Frahm."

Same. Now I'm wondering why this doesn't seem to be a modern fetish. Is there some saying that if an incredibly specific, ah, preference was drawn decades ago rule 34 doesn't apply now?

Her left leg is drawn at a weird angle. The way her top half is contorted it makes her bottom half look strange.

Oh my.

I guess this is Springmaid Fabric's way of saying, "Inferior fabrics and elastics can't hold up against our superior products. They can't even hold up her underwear."
