Monday PSA: Aloha…Hawaii!

Aloha...HAWAII! Click for the full page.

In memory of vacations past, this week’s public service ad celebrates the great state of Hawaii. This ad appeared in various DC comics published in April 1960, less than a year after Hawaii became a state (and you’ll notice that its population has more than doubled since then).

I just wish my high school had a beach that came all the way up to the football field. Though on second thought, given that I attended high school in the St Louis area, any beach would have had to be on the Mississippi River…and “beach” and “Mississippi River” are two concepts that do not go well together.

This PSA was once again scripted by Jack Schiff, with art by by Bernard Baily. This copy comes from The Brave and the Bold #29.

    Neat! I didn’t realize Dan Inouye has ALWAYS been in office.

    I don’t believe that even the earliest Hawaiians surfed on old doors.
