Christmas in July! I just put my Rudolph and Mad Monster Party books on SALE on Ebay!

 

From Jeff Carter: Dave's Rudolph rides..who wants to ride him for a dime or a quarter? #rudolphtherednosedreindeer

My pal Jeff, shared some photos of my pal Dave Harm's (and Lynn's) Polk Bros 🎅 display at the Christmas glow 🎄 He got the color ad from me (Thanks to Lil' Ron Murphy) and I am scanning another black and white ad for him now 😁 #christmasinJuly2022 #polkbros

My pal Dave Harms put this all together! He has a great Rudolph and Frosty collection too!

 I saw the light blue Rankin/Bass shirt design today and it looks really cool!  A bit different than our previous shirts in design and style!

My pal Dave Harms paid me a visit tonight and picked up his Frosty books! He and his collection are featured in the introduction of the book! A fun Halloween Frosty evening! ☃️

Merry Christmas!

Friends are a BIG part of what I do! Thank You to everyone that came out to the Chicago Toy Show and for all of your support!

 Rocky Sodin gave me a big hand with the booth!  I appear at his Southside Comic book show each year!

 I hadn't seen my friend Tim Lawson in a while!  He lives in Galesburg, IL now!  He wrote the book The Magic Behind the Voice Actors and introduced me to many of my friends in the voice business including June Foray!

 This couple saw me at Monster Bash a few years back and picked up my Mad Monster Party book!  I did a large panel on the film there!

 Good talking with my friend and fellow Collector's Call alumni Jim Engel!  He picked up a cool Snoopy banner!

 It has been a while since seeing my pal Patrick McKay!  He has been doing some art work for Disney now!  

 Bill Leff from WGN RADIO popped by and we will be seeing him again during the holidays at WGN!   Bill will appear on Collector's Call too.

 Always enjoy meeting new fans and signing stuff for them!

 My friend Tom Margarites was out looking for cool cartoon statues!  A passion we share!

My pal Dave Harms snatched up my Lil' Oscar before I could!  We will be working together on my appearance at the McHenry County Historical Society in December!

The Haunted Halloween Flea Market was a BIG Success! Thanks to all the great R/B fans and friends who came out!

I hope to do another event at the McHenry County Historical Society this Holiday season with my friend Dave Harms.  He really does have an awesome, vintage Christmas collection focusing on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  December 14th will be the 45th Anniversary of Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.  I worked on a deluxe CD release of the soundtrack several years ago with the Warner Music Group and it is one of the finest Bass/ Laws soundtracks of all-time!  The classic special is one of their very best!

UPDATE:  We will be doing an event this year at the McHenry County Historical Society! It may be on December 14th, the 45th Anniversary of Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus is Comin' to town...we'll see.  I know Dave and his girlfriend will be setting up a display of a stunning Aluminum Christmas Tree Forest!  More info to follow!
