The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.......

In 1999 my son was 13 years old. He was so impressed with my TV Guide covers, who wouldn't be, that he wanted to create some of his very own. 

Having no TV Guides around, he found a Reader's Digest somewhere and the TV section of our Sunday paper. 

Here are the results......They're Animatronic, of course. (Photographed in sequential action shots....)

Viewer is required to pull the tab on her wrist...

Eyes start to close and tongue comes out....

Eyes closed and tongue in full Gene Simmons  position...

Another pull tab creation...

grrrrrrrrr. 

My Dad would be proud.
