Steven M. Johnson's Bizarre Invention #93: The Whole Mouth Dental Appliance
I have a feeling that I found out about these guys from this site, but here goes:
Yes, Sasha. I love to think up products that I imagine the public would want. My 1990 cartoon-invention anticipated the Blizzident product by 23 years! I have always bypassed the real work of product design in favor of crafting an illustration of a product that looks as if it works, even if it doesn't.
I need to point out that my Whole Mouth Dental Appliance was thought up, drawn and first published in 1990. Twenty-three years later, a company called Blizzident offered an actual "whole mouth brushing system" very similar to my concept.
