Toys and Porn and Toys

Yesterday I happened upon the really funky Fawcett's Museum of Toys, Art, and Antiques while driving across Maine. The museum was in Waldoboro Maine just south of the famous Moody's Diner and had some great historic toys from the 20's - 50's and some excellent illustrations from comic strips of the past like Dick Tracy and Krazy Kat. It was like a history lesson told through toys and it was amazing to see the progression of characters and toys over the years. There was also some modern stuff such as a full collection of all the Star Wars toys from the 1980's and toys from the Simpsons and Futurama. The museum also had some old baseball memorabilia and some old nudes from the flapper days. It was nothing if not interesting and certainly worth a stop if you're ever heading up north.
