Upside Down, Upside Down!

Mr Squiggle turns 50 today!



Beloved of preschoolers all over Australia, Mr Squiggle and his creator, Mr Hetherington, will be celebrating his half-century along with Blackboard, Gus the Snail (who had either a TV or a flower pot for a shell), Bill the Steam Shovel and Rocket, Mr Squiggle's pet rocket. And according to Mr Hetherington, Blackboard has promised to be good tempered for a change, and he has promised to not sulk. Thank heavens! Mmm... hurry up!

1959 sure was a stellar year to be a kid - Mr Squiggle and Barbie both entering the playtime scene that year.
