Strange Ads Featuring Images of Giant Babies Taking Over and Their Mini Mothers for Johnson’s Baby Products, ca. 1940s

These slightly terrifying ads featuring giant babies and tiny mothers are for Johnson’s Baby Oil & Baby Powder. They date from 1944-48.

In the ads, a giant baby exacts a vicious turnabout-is-fair-play revenge on his mother, who failed as a parent an a human being by using the wrong skin-care products on him.
