Here's a story that's right up this blog's alley: Evan Hughes recounts the saga of Harold von Braunhut, the man who gave us Sea-Monkeys and other goodies that you might order from comic book ads and live to regret. And I wanted to throw in here that the infamous Sea-Monkeys comic book ad, which made von Braunhut a tonweight of cash, was drawn by comic book artist-editor Joe Orlando. If you think you got swindled ordering the product, you should hear what Orlando got paid for drawing it.
