I love him.

Does your bud catch bugs?

From:

he chases them if he sees 'em, but usually, he's more into stuffed animales, and larger things, like lizards.

I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. Deville. :)

From:

how much closer can y'get??

From:

beaucoupkev pointed this out to me, and I'd totally buy them.

From:

Nice mock add, brings back childhood comic reading memories, and the Librarian thing is just funny, and somehow works, heck I’d buy them too.

From:

it's based on a comic - http://www.comicreaders.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1540

rex libris, about adventuring librarians. :)

From:

You totally bought the x-ray specs didn't you? I bet I know why too!

From:

hose hand-bones are awesome!!

My personal faves were the huge collections of ads for giant weather balloons and hypno discs

Wanna know something funny--kinda comic related. When I was a kid the Roanoke Times ran brain teasers in the comics section that you could solve and win a prize. I tried and tried to win and one day I actually got a little magic trick in the mail and a note from the guy who wrote the column telling me what a smart kid I was. I STILL have that magic trick---cause I found it recently!! But yeah the magic trick ads always mad eme want to send my money in. The hostess fruit pie (I read Archie comics) ads just made me mad because it was like they were trying to be part of the comic and FOOL me but I had a certified document from the Roanoke Times telling me I was NO dummy so I was NEVER fooled!

From:

That's awesome!

Kudos for being such a smart kid, and growing into such a smart woman!

From:

I wish I still had th eletter I'd frame it as a kind of joke and put it in my office--like my pedigree.

From:

perhaps a free monkey is a nice consolation prize?

From:

And this ladies and gentlemen was how ebola got into the United States---free comic book monkeys.
I'm still laughing over the live pet baby raccoon ad.

From:

neto thanks for the link

From:

eek! does the mouth-foam come with, or is that extra??

From:

Surprisingly no, though I did want them, I had a friend who eventually own them though, and we were both disappointed, if not surprised by the final results.
I did own the magic smoke, which just this weird glue like gel that was probably all kinds of toxic

From:

Monkeys love The Gray Pumpkin!

From:

I did the magic smoke too... pinching hands together and pulling them apart... kinda all around icky.

From:

I love how it says America's favorite pet---um I apparently wasn't informed of this along with most other Americans.

From:

"suprised" by the final results---um how do I see this turning into a story of a young boy's journey into manhood accompanied by his best bud. "Hey Jimmy I can see your butt crack--now turn around."

From:

I wanted to sell Grit---I didn't know what grit was but I wanted to sell it--unfortunately the ads were always geared towards boys and as a girl I didn't think I could sell it---that and I was the only kid in a 20 mile radius out the country---not prime Grit selling area.

From:

I think I remember seeing that one. Maybe from Vampirella, Creepy or Eerie, something Warren I think.
Crazy days when I live monkeys can come to you through a comic.
Vision of Roach Iron-On transfers dance in my head.
Keep on Trucking
If it feels good do it
