  • That tin is soooooo cool 

  • Eric may be right.  Build with it it if you think up a good plan.  It's too cool for a didley unless you are a big didley lover and would use it a lot as a  1 string....

  • Not only is he blowin' smoke out his ears, but out of his left eyeball as well. The dog seems totally into it too. Gonna have to disagree with Unc on this one, cut it up, make an instrument out of it. Not gonna do anybody any good sittin' on a shelf. You could use it as a cool tailpiece shroud depending on how big it is. Cool piece.
  • That is entirely cool.  Sorry man, too cool to cut up.  Just display it. 

     

    When I was a kid there were Buster Brown shoes.  I wanted them and never got them.  Never got Keds either.  Damn.

  • That's awesome! I love the way he's blowing the smoke out his ears.Apparently at high pressure too!
  • The dog (a pitbull!!!) is named Tige... supposedly the first talking pet in comics history...
  • Oh yeah, and that dog looks particularly evil. Wonder if its name is Sam!
  • Cool! I understand thats supposed to be a boy in the picture, but for some reason it remainds more of Little Orphan Annie!
