"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
Interior of an O'Neill Cylinder from T. A. Heppenheimer’s Colonies in Space (Stackpole Books, 1977).
Mid-Century graphic design is known for many things—its clarity, simplicity, geometry and also a few tropes. These include photography printed in primary colors, collage and montage, and curious juxtaposition of images. This is what I would call Weird Mid-Century Modern. The designer is not known, although he or she was French. The advertisement is for Le Laboratoire de Controle Physiologiue, and it was designed in the 1950s. It follows the tradition of pharma ads of the era, artful yet scientific, a marriage of real and surreal—odd yet grisly. Someone had a strange sense of humor, that’s for certain.

"Basically the price of a night on the town!"
"I'd love to help kickstart continued development! And 0 EUR/month really does make fiscal sense too... maybe I'll even get a shirt?" (there will be limited edition shirts for two and other goodies for each supporter as soon as we sold the 200)
