Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for June 16, 2015

Is that a smurf behind the Ziggy doll?

. . . and a Garfield, too!

I’m 72 and most of the toys I had to play with don’t even exist any more!

you guy’s had toys

So he played with himself?

Yeah once they call it an Antique it is too valuable to play with … Darn it!

The stick I used to play with is now petrified…

Some of the toys I used to play with, like my old Johnny Eagle toy rifle, would cause the gun control freaks to start foaming at the mouth and get their underwear in an uproar.

They’re antiques and we’re antiques….sob…

My old toys are now in a museum.

It’s like when I go to museum and see old Apple II computers. Mine still works and still gets used from time to time.

I’m into O gauge trains. Some of those old Lionel sets are ridiculous with what they sell for today. Not all of them but some of them.

I don’t think Ziggy is an antique… more like a classic!

I have a close friend who restores old toys, and he charges plenty for his in demand services. I asked him once how some folks can justify spending so much to have an old toy restored?

He responded with, “There are plenty of people who have more money than brains!”

Kind of like when I saw a model of the first new car I bought with a “historical vehicle” license plate

A yellow battery powered Tonka dump truck comes to mind..It was so big this 6 year old could ride it..Also Rock-em-Sock-em robots.

I’ve seen my old toys in museums!
