Prop Newspaper Pops Up Everywhere



The people over at /Film have come across a hilarious gag that we've all seen without realizing it. There's a specific newspaper that's been used and re-used in film and television, and even commercials, as the go-to prop for any scene involving the paper.
I don’t know the story behind this prop newspaper, but I assume it was created as a royalty free prop for television shows. Somewhere along the line, the prop became a reoccurring gag between propmasters.

And also, what about the mint gum ad that was always on the back of prop magazines in sitcoms. Especially in the 70s and 80s...it was always there.
