Sesame Street Toys in the 1971 Toys R Us Flier

1971 saw the beginnings of the Merchandising Juggernaut known as Sesame Street, as evidenced by the front page of this cool flier. While I love the mildly creepy nature of the walking Big Bird doll, my favorite piece is the 1972 Calendar with what looks like Jack Davis Art on the front. Big Bird looks kind of drunk there.
