Kal said...: I always say I would collect lunch boxes if they werent' so expensive these days. I have many modern metal superhero ones though.

I hated those silver lined thermos' because some kid always swallowed a piece of metal and I was terrified to drink out of it.; February 25, 2013 at 6:44 PM
Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: This Superman lunchbox is a disappointment and a half. It triumphantly blazes the Superman logo up top, but brandishes the Daily Planet supporting cast. "Caped Wonder Stuns City", oh yeah, don't show us that kind of action, it might be too exciting for our tiny little minds to handle!; February 25, 2013 at 6:58 PM
Kal said...: Maybe Superman in costume is on the other side of the lunchbox.; February 25, 2013 at 7:09 PM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: That Six Million Dollar Man one is kind of suggestive, isn't it?; February 25, 2013 at 7:29 PM
DrGoat said...: Hey, I had a Huckleberry Hound lunchbox, but I tossed it in favor of a Rocky and Bullwinkle one. Jesus, that was in 1957. Now you made me feel ancient.; February 26, 2013 at 6:37 AM
Paladin said...: Mine was a "Gunsmoke" lunchbox, which shouldn't surprise anyone :)

I looked at them on ebay once a couple of years ago because I thought it would be funny to get one like I had as a kid and use it to take my lunch to work. I didn't realize that people collected them and they were so expensive!; February 26, 2013 at 7:44 AM
Kal said...: They are so nostalgic and easy to display that there was no chance they wouldn't become expensive collectibles.; February 26, 2013 at 7:46 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
