Yo man. I walk those streets every day. I can see the octopus looking at me but in my wildest dream i am going to sold out my soul. Keep the good tag.
the octopushy shit isn’t harif guzman. get your shit straight.
Interesting graffiti.As a child of about 4 or 5 in the middle 1940′s I had a record with a comic to be read as the record was played.The idea of the story was the Octopus who was able to be a one-man band in the ocean amongst fishes and other aquatic beings.having 8 arms made this possible.In the story the octopus was criticized by other sea creatures for it’s apparent ugliness,which,of course,it had no control over.It achieved notable standing and acceptance by playing the most beautiful music all by itself.I still have a vague recollection of the tune,and beautiful it was,to me.I have occasionally tried to find it in historical archives on the internet which have information on childrens toys of that period.My lost erector set shows up in a virtual warehouse of sites,collectors and history,but no Octopus record with read-along comic.I wonder if you might ever have run across this item?–Carl A.Helsing-1350 east north street–lot 62 -Crown point,Indiana-phone 219-663-1861-
I thought it was marketing for Marco Art on Orchard Street. The ‘pussy’s name is Ollie.

To:Kimthew;I asked about a nostalgia site with reference to a childhood song I had about an octopus back in June.I found one on the 28th of June,Peter Muldavin with a New York site.He gave me the correct title(exact)which I did not remember.It is”The Lonesome Octopus”.He has the record and cartoon magazine as well.I thank you for your reference,whatever it was,in general.The item was produced in the middle 1940′s.As it happened,your octopus item here was what reminded me of the tune.I have otherwise recalled it over the years but did not know any collectors had such items.
Hi Kim and Matthew,
Can you help?
At this time of trauma in Israel and Lebanon I have received a number of emails relating to comments and various pronouncements of leaders throughout the World. Mostly I am able to confirm their veracity.
However, one such email relates to a historic front page of The New York Times dated the 10th May 1943. Your validation of the page would be appreciated. Please let me have your email address and I will send it to you.
Love Dex and Fran

Every day, a new star is born. I turned my head, blushed, fluttered my hand up to my collarbone prettily, and gulped the last of my champagne. I know when I’ve been beaten.
