Commentor Name:	Rob Lambert
Comments left:	Found a later Sea Monkey ad in a 1982 Archie comic book. Same picture, same come-on script. Only differences: Price went up to $1.25, and the company selling them was named Mirobar. Also found an early ad by Honor House from a 1962 Archie comic book. Ad shows a baby Sea Monkey hatching from its egg (face looks somewhat human). While some deception was allowed, the novelty companies which advertised in comic books (aimed at kids) had to keep their ads clean (no erotic toys), as publishers had to adhere to the Comics Code Authority. One more note on Honor House: Over the 17 years of existence, its mailing address had been Lynbrook, New York. Switch the two syllables around, you get Brooklyn!
