Awesome - there all hard to see, but I can make out Casper, Underdog, Smokey the Bear, Bugs Bunny, Bozo the Clown, Popeye and a few other cartoon characters - what a hoot!

Oh, my gosh. Somewhere there is a picture of me in that crazy Bozo the Clown mask. Probably why I developed an aversion and intense fear of clowns. I can still smell those masks, and I remember that there was a small hole for the mouth, and it was really hard to breathe through it and pretty soon I'd be breathing in my own carbon dioxide and I'd have to take the mask off for a while... Ah, the memories!

What a selection! Could that be Captain Kangaroo hanging on the side? I think Little Casper and Snow White are setting on the second shelf. Brings back lots of memories.

I can't really make them out. But they look familiar.
A big deal at grade school every year was Halloween when everybody put on their costume and we had a parade out on the school grounds.
Man, would that get everybody going on about devil worshipping today!

I actually find this a bit creepy. But I suppose that's the point.
