“Everything’s under control…with Comet.”

Well, hello. Happy September! It’s high time we had an update here at the ‘Disco. Let’s get into some circa ’73-’74, starting off with a Comet Cleanser commercial featuring longtime mascot Josephine the Plumber (Jane Withers) and actor Hattie Winston from The Electric Company.

Following that beauty, we have spots for a weird, wonderful, and highly unauthorized Beatles bootleg Alpha Omega, Home Pride Buttertop Bread, and Duncan Hines Brownie Mix. Enjoy ’em.

Oh, I almost forgot – as a bonus, we also have another of those pre-Bicentennial spots. This one stars Bella Abzug.
