Under Achiever Award

Welp, I missed my annual AEET April Fool's post by one day, *sob! Now, I did get one up over at THOIA HERE, but still, this is not only highly unusual for Mr. Karswell --it's UNACCEPTABLE! And that is why I'm taking a tip from our po'dunk Prez and thusly awarding myself this hilarious hobo-licious Under Achiever Award, via American Greetings Corp., from 1972. We all know who actually deserves it more than me, but whatev, I absolutely am my kind of under achiever, after all. Also, I can't decide if this thing looks more like Cousin Eerie or Jack Black, but I will say that whoever cleverly crafted the original sculpt of our handsome feller here, sure knew a thing or two about beautiful bum fashion. Okay, gotta skidaddle! I just heard the 8:15 a'whistlin' down the tracks, and there's an open box car with my name on it...

Ha ha, I love his Wall Street paper. This guy is like a Ralph Bakshi character. And yeah, the clothes are amazing.

There's nothing more to add that is an amazingly detailed and funny sculpt. It's gorgeous. All for a gag gift, too, that's real dedication to the craft.

Even the patterns on the shirt / tie are awesome.

And yeah, the dog, with it's smile, is great.
