Don't forget about DCON next weekend! Wes Garltaz, my business partner, will have signed Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town books with Nesshead (Who did some art in the book) and he will also have a limited number of Rankin/Bass hats (We have a larger order coming for www.miserbros.com)! Our good friend SHAG will be at DCON too!

Tad Mochinaga

Orders have started to pick up...lots of publicity swirling now! I got my second book order from Japan for the dear Tad Mochinaga family! Tad was the head Animagic animator for Rankin/Bass on the early productions, including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The New Adventures of Pinocchio, Willy McBean and his magic machine, The Daydreamer, etc. I talk about some of the Animagic figures he saved in his collection in my new book celebrating Frosty the Snowman's 50th! You can read about some in our book The Making of Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town and The Daydreamer too! I talk about items in Collector's Call that came directly from Tad and his staff from Mad Monster Party in my collection! I can tell this is going to be a very busy year for me and The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass! #tadmochinaga #animagic #japan #rankinbass #history

I had the strangest dream last night!  I entered the 1969 Sears wish book (specifically on page 351) and my new book arrived at the home there, along with many homes around the country for Christmas 2018!  I met my pals Dave Harms and Mike O'Reilley along the way too!  All the good people that ordered the book, were texting and emailing me about how much they liked it too!  Now that was some dream!!!  A real Christmas miracle  Thank You to all that ordered and for all the wonderful compliments!  Wes Garlatz, Matthew Clayton Mitchell Witten and I appreciate you all!!! Merry Christmas!  #christmas #searswishbook #rankinbass #themakingofsantaclausiscomintotownandthedaydreamer #poloronblowmolds #history #vintage #holidayseason #historian #biographer #official #santaclaus www.miserbros.com
