I’m trying to guess where else an outfit like this would fly, it’s either an assistant to a magician or a regional Romper Room host. If I had to guess though, I think there’s play-doh and balloons in those pockets…. Christmas in the 70s Update! Still working on the upcoming photo essay book, Christmas in […]
This playset from Child Guidance seems like a good idea but trust me, having grown up down the street from an actual cannery I assure you, it was the last place on earth you wanted to play. That’s a smell that still haunts me….
The final card I did this go round, Bullet Man was one I really wanted to do because I have a lot of happy memories playing with him. I struggled finding the right image but eventually chose this one so I could shoe horn in my other favourite Joe toy of that era, the Capture […]

Ed sent me this wonderful ad from Brazil (where G.I. Joe is called Falcon)of a line of boys wear that features the classic G.I. Joe Adventure Team artwork. That “Danger of the Depths” shirt would have so been mine…..
