Selling Bubble Bath -- and Scarring Childhood Psyches

Mark Evanier's blog recently featured this bubble bath commercial from the early sixties. I don't know what's more disturbing: Dick Tracy appearing naked in a kid's commercial; Tracy using his two-way wrist TV while in the bath; Tracy using the two-way TV to sing a duet with the egg-stealing muskrat from DEPUTY DAWG; or Tracy doing all this after surviving a car crash in which he's ejected through the front windshield of his police cruiser and into a tree.
