Anyone remember "GRIT"?  Had some kid with a carrier's bag holding up a wad of dollars?  I have a graphical need for that image and wondering if someone can point me to a good quality scan of it.

Those old comic ads were great.  You just **knew** they were a rip-off, even as a ignorant child, but those x-ray specs and onion gum was just too tempting to pass by.  Chicks really dug the "modocrylic,"  too.

Thanks.  Now the big questions:  Did anyone ever sell GRIT?  Did anyone ever **read** GRIT?  What the heck was **in** GRIT??

"a magazine that celebrates such remarkable qualities as character, pluck and perseverance..."

Looks like the kind of thing that Clark Kent might read.
