Woah,  creepier than the monsters!

Weird!

I reiterate!

As a wee lad I feared AENewman as mom dragged me by Albertsons magazine rack, later I collected Mad, see the irony!!

That reminds me of a metal sculpture I see at flea markets all the time...the head of some similar looking guy with two rows of eyes......yes....weird....

This is the four eyed bottle opener, my folks had one like this in the late 50s.

I guess the four eyed thing relates to how many bottles of beer you've opened and consumed.

They used a photo of that bottle opener on the back of Pink Floyd's Relics LP, and on the cover they showed this one...

My photo of the Baxter Lane King Kong decal is missing from earlier in this post, so here it is again...

Ya know something--I wish I had been a kid in the 1960's. Its hard to believe that monsters were ever such a phenomenon that models,  toys, bubble gum machine items, jigglers, pencil sharpeners, bubble bath, pez dispensers, glasses, high quality masks, action figures, games, etc. were in every isle at every store....

It must've been a great time to be about 8-10 years old.

It was. I actually turned eight in 1960.
