One thing I love to share on this blog is old-school print ads. It's always fun to see how these classic shows were initially promoted, and Top Cat is no different. Today, I've got three cool newspaper ads promoting the shows premiere. This first one is pretty simple, just a picture of Top Cat from the series, and a note of when and where it'll be airing.
These next two are pretty interesting ones. Both are from the same day, both are advertising the series premiere, but if you read closely, you'll find the episodes they discuss are totally different. The first claims "Top Cat Falls in Love" as the premiere episode, while the second mentions "The 1,000,000 Derby" instead. Everything I've seen, from Yowp's blog to Wikipedia, says the latter is the real series premiere. Perhaps the other paper was simply given out of date information? Regardless, it's things like that that make looking at these pieces fascinating to me, and I hope you feel the same.
