Happy Days Colouring and Activity Book<\/b><\/span>
\n
Another colouring book I found rummaging through  Planet of the Stuff<\/a> a couple of weeks ago.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nLike a lot of 70s kids, I non-ironically stood in a mirror going “Ayyyyy!” and begged my parents for a leather jacket. I loved Happy Days, had a Mego Fonize doll and even bought the (lame) Gold Key comic, so it seemed fitting that this would be a fun colouring book to review here.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nHowever all that positive energy leaked out when I realized this book was from 1983, a time when Fonzie was a 35 year old shadow of himself and most of the interesting cast members were long since gone, paving way for a big pile of who gives a crap.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>Let’s take a look at this after the jump…<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Batman<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFirst off, it seems the artist uses the same image of Fonzie throughout the book, he’s depicted as having this weird, almost psychotic grin for every page. <\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\"Dune<\/span>
\n
It seems the overall malaise of the series has trickled down to the (probably underpaid) staff of Playmore Publishing as this book has a large chunk devoted to spring cleaning in the Cunningham house. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nYes, that’s Ted McGinley, who was to this show what Beau was to “Welcome Back Kotter”. <\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Dune<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI’ll take this page to mention that the kid who had this coloured exactly two pages of this snore fest. I’m also being generous when I say “colouring” because it’s more like stabbing the page with a crayon as if to express their displeasure.<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Dune<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nFonzie, Roger and Flip (Who the $&%* is Flip?) go camping but my hopes for Deliverance style antics go sadly unabated. <\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Dune<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAgggghhhh END!<\/span><\/div>\n
