Our Love is Illustrated
Before Couples Tatoos became socially acceptable, people had to wear iullustrations of their lovemaking on their clothing. In today’s society, I think it’s less painful to get the ink done…
Peter Pan Records Go Sci Fi
This cool shot of a Peter Pan store display from 1978 shows that they’re still marketing TV faves like Space:1999 long after the series was gone from the airwaves.
Colouring Book Theatre: Star Trek Rescue at Raylo
It’s been two months since we’ve had a colouring book to review but this week a kind soul dropped a real doozy into my lap.‘Star Trek Rescue at Raylo” is easily one of the dumbest experiences I’ve had a long while.Despite the Motion Picture cover, the contents are nothing but reprinted materials from the mid […]
Trapped in the Magic Lasso
Third in our series of wonderful contributions to the site from Dan, this time we see Wonder Woman capturing the penguin. This is like a live action version of one of my favourite Mego toys: And if you have anything to add, I’d be your friend for life.
1979 Corgi Jr Catalog

The Feminine Touch
This bathroom looks like it was designed by a committee of grandmothers. Bathroom carpet, it never stops hurting…

Anyway, I’m really glad […]
Join the CB Convoy
Thanks to my sister, my family got all into the “CB Craze” of the mid seventies, my first conversation with a “real live trucker” was him telling me to get the hell off that channel. That must have been really annoying, you have this great semi private form of communication and then all of a […]
The Penguin Strikes!
Second in our series of wonderfulcontributions to the site from Dan, this time we see Wonder Woman about to encounter the Penguin. I’d like to make a comment about how I’ve seen better Penguin outfits but I honestly haven’t, the only other Pengun I’ve seen came from this show. Stay tuned next week for the […]
