Object Details
- Description (Brief)
- Storyboard for a Wilkins Coffee commercial featuring the characters Wilkins and Wontkins, created by Jim Henson. The storyboard is made of series of four consecutive pencil drawings on custom-printed and perforated paper, with four dialogue boxes beneath. In the commercial, the puppet character Wilkins is hanging wallpaper. When the Wontkins puppet enters the picture and says that he doesn't drink Wilkins Coffee, the Wilkins puppet then pastes Wontkins on to the wall, behind the wallpaper, stating "The place here looks a lot better with all the bad spots covered up!"
