Joe Maniscalco Returns Fom the hey-day of illustration

Here’s one of the vintage Joe Maniscalco illustrations I have re-purposed.  I wonder what they were used for originally.

They are masterfully painted in the hey-day of illustration.

I was thinking of other captions as well:

“If you don’t eat your dessert there’ll be no spinach for you, young lady!”

Or how about:

“If you eat this cake you’ll get fat and no one will like you.”
