Tom Terrific Wonder Book

                 Tom Terrific was an early animated series on American television, presented as part of the Captain Kangaroo children's television show.

                  Created by Gene Deitch under the Terrytoons studio (which by that time was a subsidiary of CBS, the network that broadcast Captain Kangaroo), Tom Terrific ran in a series of five-minute cartoons created specifically for the Captain Kangaroo show from 1957-1959, and was rerun on Kangaroo for years thereafter. 

This Wonder Book  by Crosby Newell and Arthur Bartsch was published in 1958. Interestingly  , television, which plays a central part of the story, is never refered  to as 'TV' except on the cover.

And strangely, I now identify with Crabby Appleton instead of Tom. Weird.

 Clyde tended to "invent" things which had already been invented. He typically would invent something by taking a pencil out of his lab coat's pocket and drawing a picture in midair of his conception: the picture would then become the actual object. He was aided by his silent assistant Leonardo.

Cartoon~Bimbo's Initiation (1931)

This 1931 cartoon features one of the first appearances by Betty Boop...before she starred in her own series for the Fleischer Studios. She was originally designed as a sexy dog character, and she still has dog-ears in this cartoon. Eventually the dog ears were replaced by the earrings she still wears to this day.
