Never watched a minute of "Mad Men until a few weeks ago, and then I started binging the series, about two episodes a night.
Currently watching Season 5, episode 4, as I stumbled up this joke of a tweet.
Thoroughly loving this show. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
RIP, Donald "Dick Whitman" Draper, you womanizing, alcoholic, chain-smoking scumbag that we all loved.

It may have been successful, but I really despise that jingle.

That commercial nauseated me, and I used to like Coke.

I am confused.
Don Draper is a fictional TV character.
In some part, that fictional character is based on an advertising man named Draper Daniels who died some decades ago.

I was sure the Lucky Strikes would have done him in a long time ago, as they did Betty.

Don Draper is a fictional TV character.We all also know there's no way in hell that Draper lived to see 97.
He died sometime during the second Nixon Administration.

“Don Draper, the advertising genius”
I’m surprised he made it to 97, considering that he always seemed to have a hard drink in his hand, at least when I watched.

The series overall is a bit too raw for my taste, but I love the time period and have watched numerous YouTube clips.
My favorite clip is Don’s vision of the recently departed company founder Bert Cooper. It is just so uplifting, and Bert was brilliantly cast.

Actually, I tend to agree. I’ve always looked at Alcohol as a solvent, that dissolves crap in the body.

Genuis behind Quiznos Spongmonkeys? Using a mutated rats to sell food was not far behind using a trans to sell beer.

I'm a strong proponent of "hair of the dog" drinking, although I tend to stick with beer the morning after a good bender.

Then don't go to
Mad Magazines obituaries.
Sadly, J. J. Evans was killed at his summer job in the warehouse at Acme Munitions Plant. His last word was "dy-no-MITE"
