Little Audrey Two For

Little Audrey must have been popular to warrant 2 consecutive titles published in 1967. Playful Little Audrey #70 only features skateboarding on the cover, but Little Audrey and Melvin #33 has a skateboard storyline as well. Melvin looks like a twerp.

New Skateboarding in Comic Books Gallery!

Out of my OCD/ADD is born the glory of the Skateboarding in Comic Books gallery. While staring at the large box of comic books I’ve been scanning in preparation for posts, I started having a hard time remembering which ones I had posted already. I also ended up buying a duplicate of a title that […]

RebelliouS Kids Scrappy Strawberry

RebelliouS Kids! is the functional thirst quencher that kids allegedly love! In fact, they love it so much that they designed the packaging themselves! It’s got vitamins and electrolytes, but no sugar. There is an obvious missed opportunity to call it Stinkbug Strawberry. – Thanks to MC for the pic.

Show me what you got!

Gray Skatewing

Because this site is part of the Skatewing Preservation Society, enjoy these pics of a gray Skatewing. Also, this site is the only member of the Skatewing Preservation Society. – Thanks to Terry Daniel for the photos.

Senor Skateboard

There are a lot of skateboard themed decorative light switch covers out there. Most of them are bad, and some of them are really bad, but at least one of them is amazing. There is only one, Señor Skateboard. – Thanks to David Maes for the tip.

Action Transfers

I lurk on the web site Action Transfers web site on a recurring basis ever couple of years, mostly waiting for them to post the Battle of Midway set I had as a kid. Action Transfers was the brand name for the dry-rub decals made by the Letraset company. Aside from making the lettering that […]
