Monday PSA: Don’t Press Your Luck

August 22nd, 2011

Filed under: Comics, Medicine

I always like to post non-Big Two comic book public service ads when I run across them, and here is one I stumbled across recently from Comico in 1987.

PSA from Justice Machine #2

A simple one-panel anti-smoking PSA from Justice Machine #2, the Comico years. For those of you unfamiliar with the Justice Machine, the character shown is Talisman, who has luck/karma based powers, hence the “Don’t Press Your Luck” tagline.

Mike refers to Mike Gustovich, the artist and creator of the Justice Machine — who apparently is really opposed to smoking — and Tony refers to non other than recent blogging convert Tony Isabella, who was writing the comic.

    I can’t be 100% sure, but I think I wrote the PSA. The line about not smoking in front of Mike sounds like something I would have written to keep it from being too heavy. It’s fun seeing this…and thanks for plugging my blog.

    Suddenly, I want a smoke.

    Damn you, PSA.
