Light touch in television and radio commercials era
A nostalgic look at early TV ads and cartoons from Piel brothers to Ipana and Ford. The piece notes child friendly cartoons and the shift from irritating to charming approaches, with references to Bert and Harry Piel and voices of Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding. It mentions B.V.D. cartoons, Tinker Bell, and Gillette after a boxing KO as examples within a broader discussion of advertising. Alfred Hitchcock is credited with allowing liberties in introductions.
