#13: Bally's Celebrity Spokesman Series

To fully understand the rationale behind this cartoon, you must know that scrawny, pot-smoking, lite-rock wastrel Glenn Frey reinvented himself (in a sense) with a series of ads for Bally Fitness (like this one) in the late '80s.




















This cartoon is honestly not intended to be sacrilegious, but a comment on the superficiality of health club culture and the dubious prestige of celebrity spokespeople.
