How can there be so much goodness packed into so little space? From the moment your eye is grabbed, slapped, and dragged to the ad by the headline "LASER" you know you're in for a hell of a ride. Complete plans for a laser or phaser (whatever that means, exactly) pistol, $2.75! Invisible force fields, moon men robots, two bucks a piece– why hadn't this Jack Ford just taken over the world with his army of laser-equipped, invisi-shielded moon men bots, all built for less than the cost of a used Hyundai?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that his horoscopes cost more than his Moon Man robots or lasers.
