As I was growing up in the 50's in a large family my parents unabashedly referred to the TV set as the "electronic babysitter" and made liberal use of it. Our TV set was made of blonde wood and had skinny spindly legs. I loved it dearly. Many happy hours were spent in its enticing glow.
The first thing I ever remember seeing on it
was Gerald McBoing Boing At 3 years of age I recall how intensely sad it was when Gerald was alone in the swirling snow.

So nice! It's one of your best I've seen...
Lovely drawing. I like the 'side dish' as well, the rabbit antena, the telephone, and the cartoon in the TV.
really nice illo! I like the retro style! I remember the program... I am soooo old.... :0)
hooray for retro goodness! I love the walls and the tv and phone!
Its funny how sometimes I will draw my TVs like that in my illos...and the art director would say "please up date that TV!"
your style is awesome!
Extremely wonderful and nostalgic! makes me want to turn on the hi-fi :)
Wow! You really captured the fun retro style with such flair!
I agree, you've nailed the retro style here! I loved those TVs with slender legs, they seemed too spindly to hold up such weight.
this is so nice! I love the retro feeling! anda very tender too
We use the television as a pacifier in the prison--an idiot box for the idiots in the box.
Brilliant! I love this whole scene!!! (happy!)
I love the retro style of this illustration.

Oh yah! Lovin' the retro t.v. box, and the groovy design in the background.
Makes me kind of miss my old tube set, and the burning static smell when we turned it on.
wonderful! I'm happy to have discovered your blog today!
Great illustration! I like colours, retro style, composition, ...everything!
