That doll reminds me of Chucky...who apparently ate a telephone.

Kid's kinda cute, though.

Lovely illustration. But with my modern, jaded communication habits, I can't help but resent the person who thinks it's fun to call someone for no reason.

Ahhaaa, I hate random phone calls, too. Leave me alone! I like being at home in the quiet, yakking on the phone ruins that!

A doll phone? Was that actually a thing?

They were hoping kids would pick up the phone and randomly dial say, Japan accidentally. With phone rates what they were, jackpot!

I don't even want to THINK about how much it must have cost to call Japan from the USA in 1958.

I was thinking the same thing. Daddy gets a $1000 phone bill.

I used to love these pieces of artwork. I still wonder who was the artist.
