It’s been a while since I’ve shared some weird ephemera from the past. The illustration below comes from the back cover of Ground Beef Cookbook, published by Favorite Recipes Press in 1967. An enterprising indie band ought to make these two their mascots.
I dig the knotted arms and legs. These would be kickass knitted dolls.
Hmmm….
Kris! Look at Matt’s Flickr set. You will see the cover of the cookbook complete with — get ready — fabric dolls (I don’t think they are knitted). Aren’t they cool?! Maybe they could be your next Oscar contest prize….
They’re cute until you start noticing the wrists and knees. Wouldn’t that hurt? Those kids should be screaming out in pain. I don’t even want to know what’s inside those pointed shoes.
