Neighbourhood spies

Neighbourhood spies

Secret agents? Space capsules? These kids live in a far more exciting neighbourhood than me. The highlight of my walkie talkie spying career was catching my buddy’s sister in some guys van in ’79, it’s something I simply cannot unsee, I’m sure he felt 10,000 times worse.

    Seems kind of expensive for that day and age. Must have been a pretty strong and high quality unit.

    I agree, the space capsule is strange. It's similar to a teepee, though, and we know that there were teepees made for backyards back then. Maybe the artist goofed. But if there was a play capsule, that would be awesome and I certainly would have wanted it.
