You might already have seen this videograph elsewhere, but I was rather excited to add this particular book to my collection! One of only twenty-four copies, I feel deeply privileged to be able to share it with you all.

Not only is the story itself very special to me (and worryingly accurate in many respects), it is most gloriously and skilfully bound, and contained in a burr oak box with brass fittings, lined with hand-marbled paper of celestial blue, and illustrated by that marvel of portraiture, Mister Paul Kidby.

Within the box are an assortment of ephemera, some of which are pictured below.

(And yes, I can read the alien ‘penalty notice’.)

Have You Drank Your Wilkins Coffee Today?

I only recently watched their commercials through YouTube, and I already love these two so much.

Okay, okay. If anyone is looking for an idea for a Sam and Max animatic, I got just the thing for ya!

Sam and Max animatics using the audio of the Wilkins Coffee commercials! Sam as Wontkins, Max as Wilkins! (Max definitely fits the part considering how well he’s known for being cartoonishly violent and he definitely has a caffeine addiction!)

Also, a few of the commercials have moments where the puppets crossdress, one even being Wilkins as Wontkins’s “wife” no less!

This too good of an idea NOT to use! Please, take it! I’m not confident enough to be a youtuber!

Husk: You can't persuade me to drink Wilkins Instant Coffee!

Niffty: Pretty please?

(She turns off the light and stabs Husk with her dagger)

Husk: Ouch! Okay!

(Niffty turns the light back on)

Niffty: Just a stab in the dark!
