Originally inspired by the Halley's Comet Panic of 1910, and quack medicine ads prevalent during that time. These anti-comet pills apparently existed too, although this ad was generated by AI.

Maybe one of these days I can find a real ad for anti-comet pills, or better yet, an actual bottle full of vintage quack pills. That would be like my Holy Grail, but I'm not holding my hopes up. Meanwhile this image will have to do 🤭
