It’s spring now, right? This is one of those toys that comes in those Kinder Eggs. Doc Skaterock tagged me in a post circa 2022 and when it popped up in a memory I realized I never posted it on Skate and Annoy. So here it is. It’s impossible (for me at least) to see anything with a small, cute sheep and not think of Shaun the Sheep. I wish this was Shaun the Sheep.

I spaced on today being St. Patrick’s day, so good thing I’m sitting at home while wearing almost all red (no red hats for sure though….) So happy coincidence or dare I say lucky that I have a post full of lucky charms items for you today. Either that or I failed to read any of the text on Weird Paul’s post today. Regardless, I ended up down a rabbit hole again. Here’s some wholesome, sugar blasted goodness from Lucky Charms cereal, and a couple of other St. Patrick’s themed leprechaun bonus items as well.

I scoured Target and Walgreens to look for skateboarding themed Valentines Day cards and came up empty handed this year. The Portland Mercury ran a gag with fake Valentines cards that included this one. I have to say I didn’t even know what a polycule was, so I had to look it up. Bowl of keys is all you need to know. – Thanks to MC for the pic.

I mean, if you’re in the US, or Canada and reading this at the appropriate time. If not, scroll on. Center image from Braille Skateboarding, bad clip art from the places you find bad clipart at.

Funny, as I was putting some finishing touches on this post I found an almost identically laid out image in a post from The Skateboarding Hall of Fame. On the left you see a Munsters coloring book published in 1965 0r 1966 depending on the source. While trying to research a post from Skaterock, an image search led me to Skate and Annoy of all places, go figure… and a post made back in 2013 with a link to a now dead web site where I originally found a low res image with no context. Turns out that was a photoshopped image of a Munsters coloring book. A coloring book you can find for purchase occasionally in the usual places that sell vintage items for about $25, as well as a modern day reprint you can buy for $35. You can also buy a poster reprint of a modified version the cover. There’s a collector out there who owns the original 15″x20″ painting. Some of the text is an overlay. What about the picture of Eddie Munster riding a skateboard? Well as early as 2010 you could buy that on a t-shirt, and you still can. But what about a…

Vol. 2, No. 21, of Laugh was published in June, 1990 by Archie Comics. Goddamned Archie…. This issue has story featuring Sabrina the Teenage Witch, called “Zoomin’ Broom!” In the story, Sabrina gets a broom from her aunts for her birthday , even though she wants a car. Looking for a way to camouflage the broom, she saws off the bristles and nails it to the bottom of her old skateboard to create a hoverboard! Hold on is that canon in the witching world? I assumed if anything, it would have been the broom head that made the broom fly. Back to the story, while skating with her friend Charlie, they run into some male chauvinist pigs (come on man, it’s the 90’s!) at the skatepark and she shows them up. Then they catch the Vultures concert by hovering overhead the outdoor venue. Unfortunately, Debbie Harry was nowhere to be seen.

This cartoon is from Finnish cartoonist Marko Raasina, the creator of Nerd and Jock. You can see some of his work here, and get his exclusive content at Patreon.

As seen on Facebook Marketplace, going for an absurd price ($600) even if it is from 1996. The tombstone covers up most of the mummy’s skateboard so you barely notice it. Cardboard, 47 inches tall and the eyes light up. Boo!

Nothing says true love lie a heart shaped Valentines Day skateboard. Nothing says mediocre comics quite like the Archie Comic book Group either. Still, they have provided the bulk of skateboarding in vintage comic book content, so they have that going for them.

On the right, you’re looking at a personal Christmas card that Mark Sellman illustrated in the style of the famous John Lucero jester model seen on the left. Skateboard photos via the Madrid Facebook account. Greeting card art courtesy of Mark Sellman
