I got this when I was a kid in upstate, NY. Back then they had all sorts of small amusement parks — Frontiertown was cowboy/Indian/pioneer. Enchanted Forest had animal statues that talked through a speaker. Storybook Land was based on Nursery Rhymes. North Pole was Santa’s spot 24/7, but he had a lot of holiday guys chillin’ there. Ausable Chasm was a mountain trail that was supposed to have all these natural rock formations that looked like turtles and birds and dinosaurs.

| He’s telling me the official pizza “rules”. Not that the pizza is awesome, the laundry list of pizza do’s and don’ts that this guy constantly berates me with. Every time I see him. Then, whenever I ask him his name, he’s like, “You don’t know my name?” Like I’m supposed to know. But he won’t tell me. I think it’s all part of the Pizza Rules. |

OK. Here are some facts about the Funky Fuzzy Produce Gang.
1. It took Jeff Roberts 7 years to amass the full collection.
2. The green one, Mr. Avocado, was the hardest to find.
3. They can only be found in 99¢ Stores.
4. Even though they can only be found in 99¢ Stores, the highly collectible nature of the Funky
Fuzzy Gang has made shop-owners deal them UNDER-THE-TABLE for prices up to $9.99
if you can believe it.
5. To quote Jeff Roberts, “They are worth every penny. The joy they bring me…”
6. They were originally marketed as DOG toys.
7. They are still marketed as DOG toys.
8. The pink one’s name is Radishio.
9. The orange one’s name is Persimmons.
10. The purple one is an Eggplant. Her name is Eggplantface.
11. The yellow one – this is the most mind-blowing info – is supposed to be a SMALL ROUND
BANANA, named Banana Dwarf.
Thank You.
Well kids, we’ve finally made it there. Or here. It’s COLORING BOOK SATURDAY!!! And that means we’re gonna have a ton of fun with crayons, markers, or Photoshop. You can either print out the page from here or you can drag it into Photoshop! Ask your parents how to do it. Or if you’re a big person, like me, do it yourself. You can also just enjoy the busted old drawings, if you like!
Sometimes, when I’m fliping through my vast collection of Coloring Books, I wonder to myself, who were the artists that used to book these gigs? Did they care? Did it make them happy? Were they doing it instead of making serious art? Were they bummed? I feel like you can get a sense of the illustrators being bummed out. Especially in some of the more wack-o getover coloring books (AKA the best ones).
This one’s colored in, just to start you off right. If only peanuts were really yellow like this.
