There was also quite a controversy over their supposedly "proprietary" crayons, where they threatened that other crayons would damage or discolour.. -- Sy / (talk) 18:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
I think the overlay was called the Magic Window. 151.204.233.138 ( talk) 19:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
As a child, I remember that Winky Dink had to have a parachute drawn because he was falling from a plane or something. We rapidly drew weights on his feet so that he would be killed in a pile of carnage, but to no avail. He floated to earth with ease. Ah good old Winky Dink. He was cool.-- 69.122.62.231 ( talk) 00:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I seem to remember a quiz that used the "Magic Window" (or whatever it was called). A picture was shown, and we young viewers were asked to circle the right answer: Is this "Stocks and Bonds"? or "Stocks and Pillory"? When the answer was revealed, the Magic Window showed whether I was right or wrong. I got it wrong. My dad got it right. OldExpat ( talk) 03:10, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
I have memories of hearing/seeing somewhere along the past 50 years, possibly in one of the tv blooper books, the following comment about the demise of Winky Dink. WD was done in the days of live tv. Legend (possibly urban) says that they turned off the camera at the end of soon to be last show, the on air light went off, but the sound man failed to kill the mike before the moderator said, "there, that should hold the little bastards for a while..." The resulting calls caused the show to be axed... this was the fifties folks... ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanbard ( talk • contribs) 02:26, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
there's a couple of clips on youtube of an australian kid's show centered around a (very cute!) hand-puppet of a duck named Winky Dink. what is the relationship here? coincidence, homage, or blatant ripoff?
nothing similar about the characters, but the name is unique enough to think one must have copied the other.
speaking of the name, might either/both of them derive from the slang form of coincidence - "coinky dink"? i was tempted to title this entire post as "Co-Winky Dinks", but it does, in fact, seem quite feasible. 216.50.220.21 ( talk) 06:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
