Monday PSA: Be Your Own Boss!
Filed under: Comics
In the pre-internet and pre-infomercial era, “Be Your Own Boss” meant something more than an ad for a hucksterish work-at-home gig of questionable value. In the case of this 196- PSA, it refers to developing time management skills. No website to check, enrollment fee to pay, or infomercial to watch. Well, there is a know-it-all older brother to listen to, but that’s the worst there is.
This PSA is by DC’s PSA king Jack Schiff, with art by Bernard Baily. There are apparently both black and white and colored versions of the ad, but the only one I have a copy of (scanned from Brave and the Bold #30) is the black and white version. It can be found in various June 1960 comics including Action Comics #265, Batman #132, Sugar & Spike #29, and World’s Finest #110.
