Quimby The Mouse Wooden Toy
Sale Price: $29.99
By: Chris Ware
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Page Count: 32pp
Size: 6-inches tall
Notes: Wood, Hardcover Book Included
Date Published: 2005

One of the least visible and most culturally-obtuse metaphors of the mid nineteen-nineties!

'Quimby the Mouse' originally found expression within cartoonist F. C. Ware's periodical The ACME Novelty Library, a now largely forgotten dip in the otherwise steady line of quality of late twentieth century alternative comics. Finding its least-resistant audience in a population of paper fetishists, schoolteachers, and professional virgins, 'Quimby the Mouse' now re-appears, fashioned from the most uncontemporary materials available, perfect for display or discard.

This wood, wire, cloth and rope approximation of F.C. Ware’s creation is now ready to be added to your collection. Packaged in a colorful, hand-designed preprinted cardboard container, including a 32 page hardcover book written, drawn, by Mr. Ware, the whole setup is rounded off with a perfect scale replica bonus of Quimby the Mouse’s long lost love, 'Sparky the Cat.' Sure to be coveted by collectors and fans alike, place your orders now for this little memento of pre-21st century nostalgia.
