There was more than a touch of vile farts about Jimbo‘s stinky and cheap animation too.

Jimbo looks like he’s wafting away a particularly vile fart.

He not only has a car, but a car that flies and joins up with a spaceship that turns into a giant robot.

Game, set and match! You just can’t beat that.

TV that subscribes to a “Manky Toy” aesthetic. Mashed-up, cobbled-together and even better than the real thing.

On the subject of superheroes with ridiculously unnecessary vehicles, the Japanese really took this idea and ran with it in their 70s TV version of Spider-Man. He not only has a car, but a car that flies and joins up with a spaceship that turns into a giant robot.

Wife o’ mine, Yes. Plans for another Manky Toy Show are stewing and brewing in the septic tank of my mind. This year we should try and have it on the same night as the actual (i.e, crap) Late Late effort. A groovy alternative for the cool kids.

Oh and you’ve got the assistant gig again. Debbie McGee said no.

Hopefully the new Spider-man torch will prove more useful in case of a sudden black-out, not like that crappy one we had before. Are you planning another manky toy show this year, and if so can I be your helper again?

Okay, I think I just got a clear glimpse into the mind of the child that years later would be driven to create “Greetings Earthlings”.

Have a productive + restful week, F.
