1950s Fleer Funnies Hilly Billy Gum Comic Wrapper Vintage Dubble Bubble Ad Rare
📸 DESCRIPTION:
This vintage Fleer Funnies gum wrapper from the 1950s–1960s features the comic strip “Hilly-Billy”, a humorous hillbilly-themed cartoon that was part of Fleer’s Dubble Bubble series. Printed in vivid blue, yellow, green, and red, the wrapper includes the comic caption “What do you plan to do when you’re as big as your father?” with the punchline “Start dieting!” The design also advertises a Planet Travel Chart offer from Fleer, inviting collectors to mail in five wrappers and 25¢ for a solar system chart — a classic mid-century promotion. Measuring approximately 2.75" x 1.75", this scarce gum wrapper captures the colorful art and playful tone of postwar candy marketing. A perfect piece for collectors of vintage advertising, bubble gum ephemera, and comic art memorabilia.
