Yay! It's Shoe Liquid! (Part 2)



Hoorah! The happy "Griffin Scuff Cover Self-Shining Shoe Liquid" kids are back! And their shoes are shinier than ever. In fact, if you compare this design to the last box I posted, you'll see that the shoes here aren't just shiny- they're actually glowing! Perhaps it's that secret radioactive element Griffin added to their shoe products in the 1950's that eventually led to all those pesky lawsuits and the big hush-hush government cover-up. (What, you never heard about this? I told you- big government cover-up! Shhh...)

The drawings on this box are so wonderful that I'm not even going to ask certain pertinent questions. Like why the boy is painting the girl's shoes while she's still wearing them. Or why "Oxblood" was ever a shoe color to begin with...

I have always loved those scuff cover boxes, and the kids on them. God, what a fantastic artist!

Thanks for the blog, Bill.
