A boy with a Steve Ditko smile wants you to make Tyco your toy brand of choice

Is it just me, or does the bottom image of the kid (in his Stan Lee/Brawny Lumberjack flannel) have a very Ditkoish look to it, what with the open-mouthed smile and eyes shut tight? No one did — and does — cherubic mirth quite like Ditko. And really, who wouldn’t be thrown into rapturous joy at the prospect of a Petticoat Junction Electric Train?

Also, not to quibble, but the parenthetical pluralization of “Santa Claus” might have an “e” in there.
