Thowback Thursdays: TANTALIZE My Grits



Good Day govena'… fancy me some flapjacks from thou Jemima. Another astonishing, I can't believe they made this, moment comes from our 1935 illustration showing a Southern family being served by the one and only Aunt Jemima. My first reaction was utter shock! It leaves me wondering if people in 1935 remember this thing called slavery? But before we call the NAACP and ACLU again, marvel in that typography! God it's so good, just like those pancakes.

On a personal note: When I was 9, my uncle tricked me that Aunt Jemima was Mr. T's mother.
