Illustration Friday "Rambunctious"

For this weeks Illustration Friday, I wanted to poke a bit of fun at the old 50's advertorials and their, sometimes, questionable products and ideals. I'm happy to say I've never had to resort to "BLAM-bunctious" or any other similar products ......... yet!

Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to read the small print.

    Fantastic buddy, love it. Of course, I may have to take issue with your description of Billy's post drug induced stupor - "a Breeze"

    That's not one of my kids :).

    Brought to you by the same people as the 'Wilful Child home lobotomy kit" (discontinued) and the "Stay in your room straightjacket and soundproofing delux set". Beautiful concept and I love the execution, you really nail that 50's cooool style dadio! Your monster cards are the bees knees... a great illustration set in any format!

    Inspiring use of digital duotone.

    I think it's marketed as Ritalin.
