Image from an ad in National Geographic magazine, October 1940:
A man of smallish stature, Andy Ish is the kind of guy who would keep tumbleweeds as pets — so it’s something of a surprise that he comes from Texas. There’s something of a regional rivalry between New Mexico and Texas — half of New Mexico becomes Texas’s playground in summer, when Texans come to vacation in the mountain highlands here — and there are those in New Mexico who complain of the Texans, who complain of the stench of cattle across the border, the grizzlestench smell of Texas. But the image of this map pretty-damn-accurately reflects a Texan’s Texas-sized view of the world — Texas, with it’s Texas-sized tits and fries!Personally, I’d like to think that the magnifying glass in this image is being to sizzle and scorch Texas like it’s just an innocent ant under a kid’s magnifying glass, magnifrying it.
