On Footnotes of 'Mad Men': The Bikini, the Ham, the Firm and His Hooker
Zing! Henry Francis also doesn't like the dog - keeps wanting Betty to put him outside for the night, even in November.

Yeah, I always thought Midge was the right one for him. Of course, they way she was introduced in S01E01, we all thought she was his significant other. Betty and the kids came as a surprise at the end of the episode.

Way too many whore references for it to be subtle. Talk about painting with a broad brush!

I'm trying to draw up a floor plan from what I saw. Loved Joan in her own office, and loved Peggy's creative room - reminded me a lot of the layout room on an old newspaper I worked at back in the 80s.

I also think the ad was a deliberate snub to the client - "This is how a creative agency works, hope you enjoyed looking in the window."
There was so many not-so-subtle references to prostitution throughout the episode (Pete's Expense Account, Don's date the wench-courtesan-harem girl, and Ms. Ride-n-Slappy), I sort of saw the Janzen presentation as Don's manifesto announcement that he wasn't going to keep whoring himself out creatively to firms that don't appreciate his true talents.
I suspect we'll see some more Don domination ahead - curious to see what transpires with Mr. Lucky Strike Jr. next week. 71% of SCDP billings give him power, but Don knows about his extracurricular tastes, so it will be interesting to see how a power struggle would play out. :)

I bet Big Gay Sal is by now a top commercial director. I hope we cross paths with him again. Hell, maybe he did Glo-Coat for SCDP. Maybe he's divorced, living in the village, and taken to wear ascots. :)
