Finalists, Miss Raised Eyebrows 1970
The line of ladies below comes from one of the few things I pilfered from my newspaper days: a sheet of ancient clip art. This and this were amongst the offerings by “Metro’s Mighty Miniatures” in 1970. By the time I joined the paper in the ’90s, Metro art was still in use alongside those made by competitor Dynamic Graphics. Metro’s offerings tended towards the traditional and rural-oriented (e.g. pages of fruit and vegetable photos), while DG went ever slightly more conceptual. With the latter, I can remember designing scads of ads with artwork by Mitch O’Connell (who was presumably gone on to bigger, better things since then).
