The construction makes it perfect for sound isolation, and a comfortable area to sit and read. Its chamber-like shape and upholstered interior cancels out most outside noise, providing a unique environment for meditation, relaxation and just getting away from it all. Add fun shaped beaded curtains to complete the retro look.

Happy Odds and Ends
Do you remember when mustaches grew above the nostrils?Have you seen "Puppy With Bee"? There was a whole "with bee" line of toys in the 60s. Puppy without Bee is no fun at all.I wish Woody would be with bee. With penguin is ok though.Flintstone with melted crotch shreds. He must have sat on a piping hot pizza.These are a few of my favorite things...Beatings used to be regular happenings in the

The Magic Of Magic Slates
Whoever came up with the Magic Slate must have been a genius - or a witch.Remember the thrilling sound it made when you ripped your drawings into oblivion?Somewhere behind a black hole at the center of the universe are a billion drawings made by children around the world. I hear their ghastly moans in my dreams.Do you think it's odd that the largest Christian civilization in history encourages

Barney lives under a mushroom. How did I miss that in the cartoons?I also missed his handsome nostrils.This is before they warned girls about what can happen by riding dinosaurs.This must be why Flintstone's lineage stopped after one child.Coming soon...

Pure Cartoon Genius
Scribner is that rare combination of great animator and cartoonist.This looks like a Johnny Hart expression!
Rod Scribner Sneaks Entertainment Value into a Koolaid Commercial
By the 1960s, most animation - even animation done by the classic animators - had gotten very conservative. Even squash and stretch eventually became "too cartoony".Here's Rod Scribner going completely against the style of the times and I don't know how he got away with it.I'm guessing that Tex Avery must have directed this and just let Rod have fun with it.Rod sure wasn't inhibited by the 60s

Teeny Tinykins
These are some of the best mouth theories I have seen on toys.Some pretty appealing eyes too.We used to get these toys for free in Colgate toothpaste and Lipton's Tea. The tea would stain your teeth and the toothpaste would clean the stains. These tiny little toys would reward the never ending cycle of tooth destruction and renewal.They also sometimes sold huge bags stuffed full of Teeny Tinykins

The Bygone Golden Age Of Kids
I've probably mentioned before that the 1950s and 60s was a golden age for kids. We had it easy. We didn't have to work the farm, no depression and there were huge wonderful companies who spent their time thinking up great ways to entertain us.The Toy companies had genius designers and inventors. Just check out the design and functionality of Johnny 7We had the best toy weapons ever. I think we
