Not Brand Ecch #10, 1 of 5
You know how SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE has done a bit millions of times where they're doing a parody of something and then they break the fourth wall and have the real object of parody show up? NOT BRAND ECCH was kind of that way for humor magazines. Satire that does its job is supposed to piss off its targets without their co-operation, otherwise it's just parody. Marvel had a magazine with that same kind of "it's all in good fun, we're just kidding" attitude, but in this case, it was often done by the very creators of what they were parodying, so it was really a different take more than a parody. I got this from a scan and I think there's a page missing. I'm not sure. If anyone has it, I'll put it up here.

Much of the material here is at least a generation old and therefore sometimes has racist and sexist standards we wouldn't conform to today. I try, but can't always do a line-item veto. Remember, if something has stereotypes it's posted in spite of them and not because of them. You're not wrong to be offended, think of it like a friend you like hanging out with 95% of the time but once in a while they embarrass you. My own attitude is to move forward.
Many of the images I posted between 2011-2013 were disappeared by the image bank I was using then but I still have most of the scans and am bringing them back slowly. Be patient.

Had to come back from the dead to share this hysterical twitter thread with
you. It's between the maker of MoonPies and a woman who doesn't like them.
Some people don't realize you can make images bigger by clicking on them or that there are earlier postings beyond this page. Well, now you know. You're welcome.
