Jonny Quest Newspaper Ads

 Tomorrow marks sixty years since Jonny Quest premiered, so why not celebrate that occasion by looking at how the show was advertised? In September of 1964, ABC released a set of sample promo advertisements for their affiliates. You can give them a look below. There were a few variations on these, but as far as I'm aware, it was only these two pieces of art that were used. I think it's interesting and a little funny that both show Jonny with a particularly shocked expression on his face. It's also curious that the descriptions only make mention of Jonny and his father, omitting Race, Hadji, and Bandit. I guess there's only so much info you can cram into a short newspaper advert.
