JOE CAMEL, AN UNFORGETTABLE POP ICON
1988---July 1997
There are a lot of web pages on the Internet that will tell you what a low down dromedary Joe Camel was. Politicians and some members of the Federal Trade Commission, among others, felt Smooth Joe was able to seduce young children into a life of ugly yellow teeth, bodies that reeked, and an early death. Nicholas Price, the British artist who created Joe in 1974 for an ad published in Lui, a French men's magazine, gave him expressive brown eyes with suggestive eyebrows, and a fun-loving grin. A camel isn't necessarily the most handsome of beasts, but Joe was hip, he looked suave in his tuxedo, and he always seemed to be doing the most exciting things.
Joe thought he could help America and ran for political office in 1992 using the campaign slogan "not just another pretty face." This popular spokescamel for a major US corporation received a number of write-in votes for president, but Bill Clinton won. Joe was a party animal who occasionally played piano with The Hard Pack, a blues band. Although Joe wasn't an official Hard Pack member, he was instrumental in getting the group to record their "Empty Lighter Blues."
Joe flew jets, raced fast cars, partied with Hollywood starlets, printed his own funny money that really wasn't a joke, enjoyed a hot tub, and motorcycled across America in search of a good time. Pictured below is a selection of ads that helped make Joe Cool infamous here in the US, recognized around the world, and appreciated by fans of pop art everywhere.
