A story-line in a BPRD comic dealt with the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense's Russian counterparts broadcasting an endless signal as a magical spell to imprison a demon.
I don't recall the liniment pitches, but I know Buster appeared in an infomercial for a man's girdle - don't recall the product's name, but I remember Buster intoning, "Guys, if you've got a real corporation up front..." YouTube has later commercials with Buster in pitches for Hormel Chili & Continental Airlines.
I don't think it was technically a girdle, Art, but a T-shirt that was sort of the precursor to Spanx - had some kind of girdle-like panels that held you in, in theory.
At least that's how I remember it. I bet Cap'n Bob remembers it.

That never-ending radio broadcast is the creepiest one.
That's my favorite.
Yep. Weird that we know the location (if I'm reading the story correctly), but not what it is.
Nice coincidence, as I was just thinking about Dag Hammarskjold's death the other day (don't ask me why).
And may I add, I had no idea there was a "Buster Crabb" as well as "Buster Crabbe."
And that's where the simularity ends, as the commercial used to say.
I seem to have the vaguest memory of Buster Crabb(e) appearing in a commercial--something like Icy Hot or Ben Gay. Was that just an hallucination?

I remember the Hormel pitches. Not the ones for the liniment, the airline, or the girdle.
