Mr. Improbable’s first day at Sterling Cooper

Those of you who aren’t “Mad Men” fans, or at least fans of the cool sleek lines of early-60s design, are going to have to be a bit patient with me for a while, I’m afraid. I’m fully in the grip of “Mad”ness! I’ll be doing the photo shoot to enter the contest for a walk-on role this weekend. You can only submit one picture, I think, so I’ll post a few up here and ask you to vote.

In the meantime, I went to madmenyourself.com again and did one of Mr. Improbable. Here he is, at his first day at Sterling Cooper. They hired him because they thought his quirky sense of humor might help them land more high-tech accounts … of course it’s ridiculous to think that people will ever have computers in their homes, but the secretaries sure love that new copier, so maybe these “business machines” are the wave of the future.

This is nowhere near as good as the Simpsons version of Mr. Improbable, but it still works. I like how it looks like Mr. Improbable is thinking, “Um, I should have worn a suit? And shaved?” which is an expression I’ve seen on his face all too often.

Everyone else is thinking, “Who hired the Jew?” Except for Joan, who is checking out his butt and thinking that he might clean up nice. Hands off, Ms. Holloway!
