This four-page advertisement for Camel
cigarettes was
taken from the November
2, 1998 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine. Much like the
cigarette tag,
this ad uses cartoon imagery to sell the product. Goldberg's cartoon
carried a political message, which is somewhat different from what is
found in this cartoon. The ad sends a cultural message valuing wealth,
beauty, and, quite blatantly, gluttony. Something else inseparable from
cigarette advertising, the Surgeon General's health warning, is also found
in this ad, showing a greater concern for health than was found during the
cigarette tag's day. The overall campaign that this ad markets has a
similarly collectable aim. There are more ads in this same
campaign, indirectly encouraging the reader to search for others in the
series.
