Zoo Laffs Contest Prizes

Over at my weekly webcomic Zoo Laffs, I'm holding some silly contests. The winners will be allowed to choose between the following wildly desirable prizes. There are nine of them.

All these things are in okay-but-not-completely-fantastic condition. That's a technical term, often used by professional appraisers.

Sorry for the slightly blurry pictures. I took them with my phone. I assure you these objects are not blurry in real life. (click the pics to enlarge)

==========================================

INSANELY GREAT CLOWN

This guy is seemingly handmade, probably crocheted or knitted or whatever by someone's grandmother. He's super clean and nice. 25" head to toe.


Read about the rest of the prizes by clicking Read More >>, below.




==========================================

VIDEOTAPE ABOUT DUCK MURDERS

55 minutes of exciting, fact-filled duck hunting and calling. Includes instructions on mallard calling, instructions on wood duck calling, and "what sounds to make in different situations with wood ducks responding" !!!

==========================================

VICIOUS BLOODHOUND

Look at this plush feller! He has a whole outfit, and he's about 14" tall, including his hat. Made by Fiesta. Pretend your child is an escaped convict and that Ol' Buford is on his or her trail.

==========================================

JANIS IAN: BETWEEN THE LINES

This LP, once owned by R. Ball (?), features Janis Ian's melancholy hit At Seventeen. This is a good record to play while lying on your back and looking up at the ceiling. And the sleeve would make a lovely wall hanging. (note that it's unglued at the bottom)

==========================================

FUNCTIONAL FLOWER DOG

This seemingly ceramic girl dog has a use, but I don't know what it is. I don't think she's a toothbrush holder, but I'm pretty sure she could hold something. I love her giant eyes. 7" tall, from I. W. Rice Co., Inc.

==========================================

THE LEGEND OF GRIMACE ISLAND, ON VHS

Set sail for a lost world full of Grimaces, with Ronald McDonald and his friends. With Ronald's help, Grimace finds the courage he never knew he had! A Klasky Csupo production, and you can totally tell. Running time approximately 40 minutes.

==========================================

BADASS YELLOW DOG

This is ANOTHER dog, wearing ANOTHER vest. His is black vinyl, so he's kind of a biker-type. Great gift for an outlaw biker, or for a Yellow Dog Democrat. 13" tall, made by Sugar Loaf Creations.

==========================================

WTF EGGBOY FIGURINE

Please don't choose this fellow unless you really love him, because I'd be happy to keep him myself. What were they thinking when they made him? Open him up, and there's a little egg inside. 2 1/4" tall, made by Pot Bellys in 2001. His official name is Little Dipper.

==========================================

COUNT DUCKULA COMICS

This lot of 6 Count Duckula comics, published by Marvel, includes issues 5-8, +12 & 14. They all have Danger Mouse stories in the back, except for #8, which features special guest star Geraldo Rivera. Did I just BLOW your MIND?! Well there's more, if you can take it: #8 is inked by BILL SIENKIEWICZ, and all the art in #14 is by HOWIE POST!!! I know, crazy, right?
