I usually don't care much for meeting celebrities or getting autographs (I have no idea what to say), but I could NOT RESIST when the Addams Family movies LURCH was at the SDCC a few years ago.  Loved the movies and loved Lurch.

Carel Struycken was extremely polite, it felt like he was nearly TWICE AS tall as me, and he looked at me very perplexedly as if he was trying to understand what I was saying through the whole ordeal.

The kids look so TINY next to him.

Reminds of the P.T. Barnum publicity pictures of the world's smallest & largest men posing together.

Not a monster, but a rare autograph from musician Tonio K. I wrote to him in 1996 and he responded!



He's definitely the greatest songwriter you've never heard of. Here's one of my favorites:

Tonio K - 3 - Sons Of The Revolution - Amerika (1980)

In this age of political-everything, nice to hear someone speak some TRUTH for once!!
