This image:
This is Design 70-2 per the rainlap diagram on the rear of top left Panel A1. That indicates it was the 2nd billboard image released in 1970. Kim illustrated 2 other UnCola images that were issued in 1969 ("Un & Un Isd Too" and ""Visit Underland"). A 4th "The UnUsual" image was submitted but not selected for printing. You can find these in my other postings on Flickr.
21'x10' vintage billboard acquired in Mint condition.
To save on printing costs, this image was printed with a larger number of smaller panels so they could ship the all white panels that didn't have to be run through the offset lithograph printing machines. Normally they have 12 panels at 43" wide x 59" tall. I was able to reinforce the panels with minimal clear, acid-free scrapbooking tape on the back (only).
Unfortunately, the very bottom right panel G2 is missing. It's all white with the exception of about an inch of the last "s" in "cents" which I Photoshopped in to this collage.
This is one of maybe 3 known copies in this 21'x10' billboard Size "A".
The illustrator was featured on pages #11 & 12 with his "Un & Un Is Too" image in a small American Contemporary Graphics booklet from about 1971-72. This image was included on black & white inside back cover pages #23 & 24 in the same booklet:

This image was featured on pages #19 & 20 in issue #47 of the "Dimensions" quarterly booklet published in the Fall of 1973 by the Simpson Lee Paper Company - this time focused entirely on 7Up billboards:

Bottom line: I've never seen this image offered to the general public in my probably incomplete collection of billboard & poster offers.
