During the month of April I came across some comics from 1975 that each featured a one page ad with different superheros taking on baddies using Hostess Fruit Pies. I scanned and posted each one right here for your enjoyment.
On the last one I posted I promised no more, but, thanks to the power of the internets, I found about a million more of these. So, instead of just pretending like these don't exist, I bring you one last post with direction on where to go to find a ton more (possibly all of them, I don't know, and I'm not sure I want to know).
I was also shocked to learn that Marvel comics also took part in this crazy marketing charade (Et Tu Spiderman?).
So here is a huge collection of ads that appeared in DC comics throughout the 70's and 80's.:

Some of theorized that Garfield actually is dieing in these strips and that every strip after this is just delusions of his mind. As pointed out in the last strip Garfield's only defense against starvation and loneliness is "denial".
Of course the most likely scenario is that this just a nightmare Garfield is having and he wakes up at the end and lives his life happily. It has been said that Garfield creator Jim Davis had just had someone close to him die and he wrote these as sort of a self therapy.
