My Grandmother was always sewing these into the knees of my jeans. They always made your jeans feel stiff and made it hard to bend your knees. I think she even put ‘em in my Sears Toughskins which were supposed to be indestructible. Eventually these sturdy iron-on patches were no match for a seven-year-old boy playing in the dirt and rocks with his Hot Wheels and Army Men!

Fat Boy & The Blob
This drawing is kind of inspired by the old sci-fi movie The Blob and The Angry Red Planet. I kind of feel sorry for poor fido, but I'm sure Jimmy will be joining him soon.
This is for illustraion friday's topic FAT and created in photoshop.

Manglors Manglord Action Figure Toy
In 1983 Ideal released their first set of Manglors. They were Manglizard, Manglodemon, and Manglodragon and they were packaged in plastic eggs. I believe around 1985-86 the line was revamped and a new set was released. This new set had Manglord, Manglosaurus, and Manglodactyl along with the Manglor Mountain playset that came with a Manglord and red volcanic slime! The figures were more colorful and instead of eggs they came in nicely illustrated boxes. Apparently both sets were a failure and were on toy shelves for just a short time.
1950's Halloween Robots Snapshot
A good friend of mine let me scan this amazing Halloween costume photo. She is one of the kids inside the robot costume and the little one is her brother. She said that her Dad made them from cardboard and painted them silver. I like that they have that movie serial robot look to them.

SMASH-UP DERBY
Kenner’s SSP Smash-Up Derby looked like it was a bunch of fun and especially after watching this old commercial it still looks fun! I always wanted a set back when I was a kid, but for some reason I never got one. Probably a good thing, since I would’ve probably lost all of the pieces.

1969 GENERAL MILLS SPRINGYS COMMERCIAL
1969 General Mills Lucky Charms & Frosty O’s Cereal Commercial.
This commercial is for the Springys premium offer of Bullwinkle, Rocky, Underdog and Lucky Leprechaurn. The jingle is so catchy you won’t be able to get it out of your head!

HAPPY MAY DAY FROM FRANKENSTEIN
Frankenstein wishes everyone a happy May Day!
Now run away because he'll soon be tearing off those flower petals and throwing them into the lake and I think we all know what happens when there aren’t any more petals to throw in!
