If you've taken the subway at all in the past three decades, you've seen them—the magical, Microsoft Paint-eque rainbows, Isabel R's before-and-after chemical-peel photos, the promises of "Now you can have beautiful clear skin!" Dr. Jonathan Zizmor's kitschy dermatology ads are legendary in these parts, so much so that today's news of the doc's retirement and shuttering of his Manhattan office left many New Yorkers taking to Twitter to express their camp-fueled grief. All we can say is, for the last time, thank you, Dr. Zizmor.
Dr. Zizmor has quietly retired!!! @NY1 currently trying to determine whether Dan Smith is still teaching guitar. https://t.co/JtWsVaZb9x

No one ever rode the train alone, because Dr. Zizmor was always there. End of an era. You will be missed. https://t.co/jkMISyhNsq

He taught us what bad design was and how total commitment could transform it into good design. [Dr. Zizmor retires] https://t.co/nuyHzPEQo1

The MTA should put one of Dr. Zizmor's subway ads in the transit museum to preserve it for all eternity.
