I love the one-page parody ad that Byrne did with Rog 2000, in First Comics' E-MAN # 1.


I still like the idea I expressed a few years ago, of collecting all the Hostess Twinkies ads together in one book or limited series, and doing a story that ties them all together into one cosmic story.

Rather than try to incorporate the original ads, they could just use the art and re-script the pages with a more intelligent story, maybe retaining a few of the original ads intact. The same way the more childish Miracleman stories from the 50's and early 60's were incorporated into Alan Moore's 80's run.
Someone like Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman or Roy Thomas, or some other inspired writer, would have a field day with a project like this. Guys who have refined often silly past continuity, and re-structured it into something really impressive. Or at least a heck of a lot of fun.
