Okay, who wants one more 1970s comic?  We do!  We do!!  And there's 
nothing more 70s than Our Heroes in an ad.

Bonus Section:  2005 Reprint Commentary from Stephen Oliver Samuels 
(S.O.S.)!  Sugar Frosted Air


In my travels I've seen some very boring places, particularly including 
remote military bases, where one of the leading amusements was snorting 
nitrous oxide.  It's harmless; dentists use it for sedation.  But you 
have to be very, very bored before you embrace it as a recreation.

As you can see, there *was* an attempt to sell nitrous oxide for 
recreation.  It figures that the 1970s Powernaut was associated with it. 
  But it's ironic that the real Powernaut (of 1941 - 1966) still 
appeared in these ads.  Even after more than a decade from his 
disappearance, he was still the Powernaut everyone remembered.

...

Author's Note:  Maine in November also qualifies.  That's where *I* saw 
nitrous oxide as a form of recreation.
