A one of a kind sad toy, perfect for Dill.

All my toys look like that.

the marvelous toy!

Saved from the island of misfit toys.

Dill is a youthful existentialist-to-be. His toy is his toy is his toy. And they are alone in the universe. Unless you count Alice. And other folks. And other stuff….

Apparently Dill didn’t really WANT it . . . he simply felt sorry for it.What a guy!Like Marg said: ’Perfect toy for Dill"One-of-a-kind toy for a one-of-a-kind kid.

Reminds me of a joke from the old Dick Van Dyke Show. Howard Morris played an art dealer appraising some stuff Rob & Laura bought at an auction, and when they showed him this weird, unidentifiable object that they called “the thing,” he said,“My grandmother had one of those, she called it a Zatz.”“But what is a Zatz?”“How do you say it in English? Ahh yes, A Thing.”Dill’s toy is truly a Zatz.

wish this was on facebook, so i could like it about a hundred times.

And that, boys and girls, is the perfect description of a “collector’s item”

Alice likes to undress her dolls?

I used to get that toy every year, but different colors, and always looked a little more used…Hmmmm

You mean your brothers didn’t make it?

Love that there is an electrical outlet and cord in panel 3 butnot one in panel 1 or 4….

I just love Dill. What a sweetie.
