Glad you like the post! Thanks much for the mention-- I was unaware of "Eye of the Goof" before, but am adding it to my links.

I completely missed the Clifford connection, william. Surprising since I have 2 kids and read Clifford to them all the time when they were little.

Drunken Severed Head: welcome! Love your 'blog (and its name).
orangeguru: maybe you could make one out of old Leberkaese and Blutwurst?...;-)
J$: I'll ask my wife to bring a copy home from the library where she works and let you know what it is.

Wow, I had that book. Amazing how this stuff can come swarming back up from the depths of memory. I got just about anything Scholastic put out that related to monsters. Or dinosaurs. I wish books still had prices like that...

I had this book too, M.Ace, and a whole stack of Famous Monsters of Filmland that I threw away when I got religion. What a dumbass I was.
