Calvin Monday 3-17-1989


Calvin finally has his fully assembled and functional propeller beanie.  And it is not quite what he expected.  I wonder if he even read what the beanie would do before he decided he had to have it.  How many of actually did when we were kids?  All those X-rays specs and miniature submarines in the ad pages of comic books were not quite what they were advertised to be, either.

So peculiar is a great word for this premium giveaway.  I had a few of these show up in my life, though once I realized my expectations had been too high they got better.  Like when I finally joined FOOM (Friends of old Marvel).  I don't know what I was expecting in the box, but I got it in a large envelope.  It took me a minute to figure that out.
