My older daughter was closer to your age. I mostly remember Star Wars for her. They had a cool slot car set that I hope we kept. I have to get back further to find that stuff. I'm pretty sure there was a legal battle or something over the duck character you have pictured.I remember him as destroyer duck!That's how I'll think of it when I just know I'll find one at a thrift if I look long enough.Luck of the Irish! And a belated happy new year my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I guess Usagi hung with the Turtles for a while. Not really my era. She has him. Must have come in a Turtle package or we probably wouldn't have gotton it for her. Don't even ask me to name any of these other Turtle related fellows. Happy New Year to you as well mi amigo. I spent New Years as I should have. Making noise with my buddies at a Hollywood party with a couple Jacks under my belt. I'm still not too old to rock. And I've been meaning to say, I much prefer the newer looking Jimmers. porcupine48 and gino2paulus2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one of me around 20 with my beloved Les Paul gold top. I think I did this for an art project in school. Due to a fire, I lost a lot of old pictures but my lil brother found this and sent it to me. I sure wish I looked that good now... gino2paulus2, porcupine48 and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 We were pretty poor in the late 60s early 70s, and mom used to patch our jeans like that. We loved it! porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Ah, one of the wonderful things about living in SO CA. Been watching the reports for a couple of days. Figured today would be a good idea so I called a friend and we decided to ride over to the beach for a little wave riding. Thank God for Hugh Bradner... that wet suit was a must today. Grabbed a few nice ones and called it a day. Not as young as I once was. On the way home I thought about some cool surfing junk I had laying around. Here are a few cool surfing comics I've gathered over the years... PopKulture, KirbyJack, davidtere and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 And there is this. Put out by John Serverson of Surfing Magazine fame in 1962. It features some of the very earliest art by Rick Griffin long before he moved to San Francisco and turned the rock poster and underground comic book world on it's ears. Soooo tough to find this. I've been offered a ton on money for it but it was a gift and I really love it. Even play it once in a while. davidtere, PopKulture and porcupine48 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 And then, there are these. Every surfer either had one or wanted one back in the early 1960's. They have come very well identified with the SO CA surf scene. KirbyJack and PopKulture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 This was given to me by a neighbor who was moving. A circa 1961 9' 6" Hobie long board. The best part? It was shaped and signed by none other than Hobie Alter himself! I used to use it but it's a be ach to handle any more besides it is worth too much. I've got a couple more manageable sticks to use instead. Got it hanging up now. It has been promised to the Huntington Beach surfing museum when I'm gone. Man, I just can't wait until it warms up just a little! gino2paulus2, Pat Calhoun, PopKulture and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Good day at the flea market this morning. One of my dealer buddies turned these up and had them saved for me. KirbyJack, PopKulture and buttock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 But this one blew me away. I pick up cool mostly sports trophies when I can find them. This one is a stunner. Sterling silver and copper from the Arts and Crafts era. Nice horse racing presentation trophy and quite sizeable. I have some research to do on it. This one probably won't be leaving the junk pile soon... Some days, getting up in the dark and cold is very worth while. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Y’all know how much I like monsters and horror comics. Thanks to a cool boardie, I managed to get the other Creature of the Black Lagoon Archie covers today!

No, due to a family obligation, I have to skip this one. Some things are just important than junk... However, I’m still planning to do Terry’s show. I’ve been really digging through my boxes and should have a lot of cool and unusual stuff for the show! KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
