Cartoonist R.O. Blechman did this Christmas illustration for a greeting card. It was later the inspiration for the animated CBS Television Network 1966 Christmas "greeting". Click on the image below to view the video.
Blechman also did the award winning Alka Seltzer commercial in 1967 showing a man and his own stomach sitting opposite each other in chairs, having an argument moderated by their therapist in a voiceover. The stomach (voiced by Gene Wilder) accuses the man of purposely trying to irritate it. The man accuses his stomach of complaining too much about the foods he likes. The therapist suggests Alka-Seltzer, and further suggests that the two must take care of each other. The closing words are of the stomach saying to the man: "Well, I'll try - if you will".

Six Million Dollar Man - Christmas Adventures (1978) Christmas-themed adventures, published by Peter Pan, appeared in 1978. These records were smaller than their non-holiday-themed counterparts, published in a 7" vinyl format.
The stories were a mixture of reasonably plausible espionage adventures that just happened to have a vaguely Christmas theme ("The Toymaker", "The Kris Kringle Kaper") and those that featured illogical interaction with mythical elements ("Christmas Lights", "Elves' Revolt"). However, they also served to confirm the usual, televised meaning of the acronym OSI as "Office of Scientific Intelligence". Some of the stories also — unusually for Peter Pan audio dramas — feature brief rearrangements of Oliver Nelson's Six Million Dollar Man Theme.
