I just came across a 1962 Peanuts cartoon that captures the problem with calling the Mooninite ads a hoax. In this strip, Linus screams for help after seeing what he thinks is a queen snake. Lucy points out that it is actually a branch. Linus's response, addressed to the branch: "I suppose you think you're smart pretending you're a queen snake."
