Here it is in all its sliced, letra-lined and burnished glory (click for large). It's strange to think back and remember just how long a simple half-page advertisement would take to assemble, compared to these days of InDesign. I remember working at an ad agency back in '81 and spending an hour with my colleagues looking for the word 'construction' that had fallen off and delayed the artwork from going to press. It was eventually found stuck to the sole of someone's shoe! <img width="1280" height="719" width_o="1280" height_o="719" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9cd4fb140079999bb8c903f66b48536e7c2e5a2af84e49274a5f9b2eb7a9645e/Future_Shop_IMG_3998.jpg" data-mid="124547632" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9cd4fb140079999bb8c903f66b48536e7c2e5a2af84e49274a5f9b2eb7a9645e/Future_Shop_IMG_3998.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="852" width_o="1280" height_o="852" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a938798f69abc9d83b07f80b14ffec8e36d2ad6676d974cd512bb2a201c84fd/Future_Shop_IMG_3985.jpg" data-mid="124547254" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5a938798f69abc9d83b07f80b14ffec8e36d2ad6676d974cd512bb2a201c84fd/Future_Shop_IMG_3985.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="719" width_o="1280" height_o="719" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d0a2ee4f3c7ca8d8c419099c0fefe07333ca42a91f50a06ee0ed7771b43233c/Future_Shop_IMG_4000.jpg" data-mid="124547346" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d0a2ee4f3c7ca8d8c419099c0fefe07333ca42a91f50a06ee0ed7771b43233c/Future_Shop_IMG_4000.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="852" width_o="1280" height_o="852" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9548ddcbe24f095503c56efc7b6984420b6901708645b7048ea3dd2cbbbed52a/Future_Shop_IMG_3991.jpg" data-mid="124547571" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9548ddcbe24f095503c56efc7b6984420b6901708645b7048ea3dd2cbbbed52a/Future_Shop_IMG_3991.jpg" /> Tharg Head by Brett Ewins https://www.secretoranges.com/Dr-Sally-Gary-1984 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 01:49:16 +0000 secretoranges https://www.secretoranges.com/Dr-Sally-Gary-1984 <img width="1000" height="1199" width_o="1000" height_o="1199" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1d6f7ad5735423397d6638ca9d75f4facd89675d2118f76effe3ee92d8316a0/s.cook_donna_-_rpb.jpg" data-mid="123955402" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1d6f7ad5735423397d6638ca9d75f4facd89675d2118f76effe3ee92d8316a0/s.cook_donna_-_rpb.jpg" />Donna McKenzie as Dr. Sally Gary with Associate Editor,&nbsp;Roger P.
