\nMork from Ork: An Outer Space Activity Book<\/span><\/i><\/b> (1979), Grosset and Dunlop.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n          This month I received a box of joy from Tracy, who generously donated some colouring books so that I could share them with the world. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n           I thought I’d open with this remind of when “Mork Mania<\/b>” briefly swept our landscape, distracting briefly us from Roller Boogie and .<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

This book also serves as a bit of a redemption for artist Tony Tallarico, who was last mentioned in this oddity<\/a>, as it shows he was fully capable of drawing likeness.<\/span><\/span>

\nThe book itself is largely a collection of photos, (semi lazy) pages of just signs but when they do show Mork it’s a decent Robin Williams likeness. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span>
\nMork is never not shown in his space suit, suggesting that early publicity photos were all that was given to the artist.<\/p>\n

\nThis book is also (unforgivably) 100% Conrad Janis free, perhaps it’s greatest flaw….<\/span>

However, Mindy makes a brief appearance! Like millions, I had a little childhood crush on Ms Dawber. If “girls next door” held a pageant, she’d have swept every category in the late 70s.<\/span><\/div>\n

When I originally thought up the concept for this site one of the early contenders for it’s name was “Shazbot”. I often use this as a curse around the house, I think my kids think it’s a legitimate swear.<\/span><\/div>\n
