An ad from the British government's new swine flu education campaign. (Um, they only have eight confirmed cases, we have 112, and they have a public health ad up before we do?)
Though this one, from 1948, is far more cute—hankies!
Eli Sanders was The Stranger's associate editor. His book, "While the City Slept," was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He once did this and once won this, but he also once crashed his bike into a parked car while on his way to a staff meeting, never mind this, so… His website, which probably hasn't been updated in a while, is www.elisanders.net.
