@jimeato.bsky.social has an incredible art style coupled with zany story telling ability. This rising star is now taking commissions, best investment you'll ever make. And make sure to get his comics - he's super generous and will always include extras like this Papa Balloon "action figure":)

Bonjour! Having a great time in Quebec. For many English is just not a thing here, but everyone is super friendly and chill. Would we even have a USA if not for the French - maybe we should all be speaking French?

I suppose he may count as a domestic terrorist?:) He was actually played masterfully by the always incredible French wrestler "Andre the Giant" of "Princess Bride" fame. I haven't watched the episodes probably since they aired in '76, but if ever an occasion called for it...and I see it's on Tubi!:)

In Norway a relative kept a suitcase with odds and ends - among them this artifact from THE pop culture event of my generation:). I had it with me from USA when I moved to Norway as a kid and have now at long last brought it back to USA with me. Bigfoot from "Bigfoot v Six Million Dollar Man":)
