Quote this, G-men
I admire without reservation this ad for the MAFIA, a.k.a. the Mollie A. Fearing Insurance Agency in Manteo, N.C., which we saw in Real Estate Outer Banks magazine during our May vacation. Fearing must have seen Big Bad Mama at a formative stage, but that's true of many of us.
I wonder who the cartoonist is.
Fearing's online presence, alas, is considerably more demure.
This looks like the "Charlie's Angels" version of the Mafia. Or maybe the one starring Angie Dickinson and William Shatner, with the nude love scene I've tried for years to scrub from my memory.

You're thinking of Big Bad Mama, Greg. Is your bad memory of Angie Dickinson in particular, or the company she was keeping?
