Winky Dink was a cartoon character in a series where
you sent away for a kit containing a plastic sheet that
went over your TV screen.  Then you used crayons to
draw ladders, walls, etc, onto the screen at the host's
direction.  Winky Dink would run up your stairs, crawl
over your wall...  you get the idea.

Didn’t need to send away for the “Secret Winky Dink screen kit” I found a China grease marker worked just as well...when neither parental unit was nearby. Mom woondered about the damp rag in my back pocket though.
