R.O. Blechman CBS Christmas Message (1966)

A TV post. Posted on December 14, 2009 by The Retroist

R. O. Blechman is an American animator, illustrator, children’s-book author, graphic novelist and editorial cartoonist whose work has been the subject of retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art and other institutions. In the 1960s he produced this and other wonderful Christmas Messages for CBS. I find them to be absolutely enchanting.
