JJ-05 is a contemporary junk-journal spread photographed at The Paper Age pop-up display in 2026, opening across two pages under the motto "The best is yet to come — Go big or go home." The left page layers a panel of French newspaper advertising (perfume, diabetes remedies, the Grande Maison de Blanc), a large white ghost with a black-cat silhouette, an old health text on the "unconscious eye", a page of a German novel, and a reference-book feature on the 1930s Mickey Mouse Christmas Cracker novelties of Jack Frost Ltd. of London. The right page turns to fairground and film: a ringmaster figure, a carnival wheel where Mickey chooses number 13 — the same Disney story continued from page JJ-04 — a "MOVIE NIGHT" film strip and a crying chibi sticker. Identifications are preliminary, catalogued from a single photograph pending flat scans.
