Some one inherited Mommy’s love of kitsch!
Ready to peruse this blast-from-the-past? Here we go!
See Dick... bounce a ball with no shadow, bending the laws of light at will.
Is it a mystery orb? A massive drop of blood? A flying tomato?
Only time will tell.
See Mom. What is she ironing? A giant housecoat?
Women in the 50’s wore housecoats, not bathrobes. Look it up.
See Jane... beat little Sally with a golf umbrella.
Show no mercy.
See Jane... strangle Spot with the red ribbon.
Psychopath.
See Sally... dress-up like the Grim Reaper. Of Clowns.
Where’s my scythe?
To its credit, many a youth learned to read from "Dick and Jane," and its cute-but-disturbing illustrations. Not nearly as offensive as Betty Crocker, but funny nonetheless.

I like the first picture. "Read with Dick and GIANT STICKER"
@Marianna Annadanna: Yeah - the library could've been a little more strategic in placing their bar-code sticker. Unless they had some reason for censoring out Jane's name. Maybe the aforementioned umbrella-wielding, ribbon-strangling incidents...
