Remember the Old Days, when little kids were all intense-looking homicidal maniacs?
Now you may say it was a bad thing that kids were all intense-looking homicidal maniacs Back Then. But how do you think we beat the damned Russians?!?!

UPDATE: In comments below, Katie M. reminds us where we’ve seen this little girl before:

It is true, we won the cold war with cold, creepy jelly oogling. It’s a fact. I looked it up on the Wikipaedia thing.
Oh, and that’s not bread, it’s actually .5-inch thick slabs of CELLOPHANE. And it is not jelly but the ground up remains of our enemies, mixed with some lovely seasonal, artisinal Rhine Valley goat cheese, safron, and smoked sea salt from Japan.
Enriched, indeed!

Actually you have to wonder about what was going through the mind of the artist who painted this.

Anytime someone grouses about television rotting the brains of Today’s Youth, just show them this picture - *this* is what the Children of Yesteryear were like before they were getting their heads irradiated by Howdy Doody in glorious black-and-white….
Technology is your Friend. Questionable jam sammiches made by a well-manicured Thing are not….

And she grew up to be governor of Alaska. I know, it was a cheap shot, but no one else was doing it.

Not much of a surprise that these were the kids who grew up and liked Alice Cooper…
Didn’t he have a famous song, “I love the Bread”?

Well, it serves Mom right if she feeds her little girl a bread whose key ingredient is Cellophane.
Takes me back to the days when my school lunch consisted of bologna between two slices of construction paper.
