This piece is called “HobbyPop RoadShop” by Bruce McCall, from ~1957, from the book The Last Dream-o-Rama. Or so my research suggests. And of course, this post certainly doubles as a ‘retro-futurism’ posting, as well.

(unfortunately, that double-underscore (“__”) in the URL seems incompatible with PF’s image-insertion mode, or maybe I’m doing it wrong?)

Anyway, here’s a fun mini-article going in to more detail:

    I’d also argue that this community needs more posts on a regular basis!

    Only if they’re on-topic. It’s not like you had nowhere else to put it, that community exists for posts like this one.

      Well, I’m sorry I couldn’t accommodate your lordship, this time around.

      Better luck next time, ma dude. :D
