Susie Q Smiles

I just love the character designs in this mid-century modernist Pepsodent commercial — it’s amazing when you think of how much work that was put into a TV spot at the dawn of the medium. The animators also did a nice job with Susie’s walk cycle and those potential geeky boyfriends (one wearing a bow tie!) coming in from off screen just add to the energy which is pumped up by the cool Jazz drum beats.
