A short note before we get started: there is a moderately high chance I'll find some idiotic mistake in this card to feel self-conscious about (despite all the pre-existing horrors in my gallery), but I promise I won't delete it ...unless I do delete it, but I promise (sincerely) I'll have a great excuse handy in that event.

...anyway. ^^

This is the white rabbit from Hanna-Barbera's 1966 animated TV special 'The New Alice in Wonderland', or (with the alternate tile of), 'What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?'

Yeah, I'm just gonna call it 'TNAiW'.

The rabbit has a song, which may be tolerated here (link tested 06/13/2022): www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5Awdf…

There isn't much more animation available to watch free, albeit the LP of the complete story may be listened to here (link tested 06/13/2022): www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY1y36…

So, why am I referring to the white rabbit as the Rexall Rabbit?

The Rexall Drug Company was a big sponsor of the TV special, and so some (mostly-) animated commercials were made featuring characters from the TV special (esp. of the white rabbit).
Besides, I may want to draw either the Disney White Rabbit or the Star Trek version someday, I don't want cards of different characters sharing names (esp. when the names begin with 'The').

And, yes, (at least) two of the aforementioned commercials were on YT as of writing. These are they (links tested 06/13/2022):

2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARELnP…

So, basically, Rexall was having a sale in which if you buy an item, you get an identical one for a penny. Why not make it a BOGO sale (buy one, get one); even in the 60s, a penny didn't amount to much (but, at least, I think they were copper then ...I think)?

Anyway, pencil...

The featured pencil is a 'Cascade' model from a Rexall store in Los Angeles.

I'm almost certain this pencil was exclusive to Rexall, albeit, Rexall didn't have a trademark on the 'Cascade' pencil name (an earlier 'Cascade' was made by American Pencil Co., which by the time this pencil was made, APC had changed its name to Venus).

I have only one or two other Rexall pencils. The one I was able to find (in all this mess) was a Rexall 'De Luxe' ...which would have been a nicer pencil to feature (in that it's more on the nose), though my particular 'De Luxe' is a mis-stamp, and so wouldn't represent the model fairly.

Drawing was made via a 'Zephyr' pencil from Wallace Pencil Co., and delineated via an English-made 'Cardinal' pencil from Berol.
