lmao. Thats the funniest thing i’ve seen. That just made my day. The funniest line is.. “THIS IS MY ELEVATOR.It takes me way up. People who are not executives stand right next to me in the elevator. They are all right but I would not want my daughter to marry one of them.”

What a riot! I didn’t think we were quite that stiff in 1961 even if we weren’t with the protesters. We were in art school and weren’t aware of much then. We surely had fun though. I hope that I can find one of these color books to send to my friend.

“Hilarity” is the noun form of “hilarious”. There is no need for “hilariousness” and it is bulky to use that version.
Yes, those cartoons are funny.

This would be a great Christmas present if they were still being published!

oh jean… I know hilarity’s a word (I come from a long line of scrabble players afterall!)… I just thought hilariousness sounded funnier. I also enjoy using the phrase rocket scientry. Like, “it’s not rocket scientry, mom.” Which generally leaves her even more irritated.

Hilariosity! :P. Reminds me of American Psycho. The film, not the book. Phunnny!!!

There’s NO possible way this was published in 1961. Hilariositude wasn’t of this level until the 1980’s. Seriously — joking about drug use wasn’t trendy until the late ’70’s. My guess is that this was done within the last decade.

This is my comment. It will not be funny or clever, because then you will think i am trying to take your job and not print it.

The style of this brings to mind classic “National Lampoon” issues.

Reminds me of the movie “Reefer Madness” and how silly and stupid people were back then.

I need this colouring book. I do.

This was so funny! I went to check out the entire book at the link on top, but it was gone; 404 the website said. What does that mean?
posted by Michele on 11-1-2007 at 12:25 pm
Joe - OMG…I totally agree with you. I was thinking that this reminded me of American Psycho also!!!
posted by Michele on 11-1-2007 at 12:28 pm
I found a website that had the book in its entirety: adtothebone

The link was 404′d, but if you visit commercial-archive.com/node/133071 or click on my name, you can see the entire book. It’s worth the two minutes.

“Color my underwear important.”
I colored them hot pink.

I actually HAVE this coloring book - I got it as a joke when I was in law school. The underwear page is my favorite - thanks for making me laugh (again!)

Belive it or not I HAVE THIS….could never ever throw it away

Where can I get one, PLEASE?!?
My favorite is “This is my attache case. It helps people know I am an executive. It makes me look efficient. Organized. Competent. I wonder if it opens.”
That and the pink pill are pure genius.
posted by GTT on 11-21-2007 at 11:06 am
That was truly fantastic. You had me going there for a bit, until I clicked through … I think this is the coloring book I’m going to give my niece, if I can find one ..

I read about a Wonder Woman colouring book where the reviewer said the artist had ‘indulged all his bondage fantasies’
I’m still looking for it.

This might just be the most amazing book…ever. Wow.

If anyone is interested there is a copy currently up for bid on e-bay. This is one of the more funny things I’ve seen in a while.

To Jean Florian, if the stick ever falls out of you ass and you pick it up to play fetch with your dog, that to me, would be great hilarity!!
