The Garbage Pail kids of the early 1900s



So I got this book for Festivus and it is pretty damn amazing. The photographer named Harry Whittier Frees would dress up these animals, hold them and take their pictures with "No maltreatment of the actors, or drugs administered". He sold millions of postcards worldwide between 1906 and the early 1940s. Peta would probably have a field day, oh well.





And My personal Favorite, The ol Bunny driving a chicken cart!

I think a childhood spent in your family's living room with all those stuffed animals staring down at you has finally made you snap. It's OK, we're all friends, you can tell us if you used to put clothes on them when your parents were asleep.

I just used to put scarves on them, cause I thought they would be cold...And Murph...Yeah right. If I put clothes on Murph he'd slit my throat in my sleep.
