We saw this the other day in a lot of
something or other which came in; I've seen them in The Works, and he only fits on larger, plastic-barreled pens, he
slides down traditional wooden pencils like they're greased with melted butter!
No maker known, marked CHINA, and hidden in
one of last Friday's dino-piles, this chap has the grip for all pencils of the
old style. He has slightly babyish eye's which would be vastly improved with a
dab of paint to make them more slitty or snake-like.
And it got me wondering; we have - within
the mammals - many monkeys and apes, the squirrels, the lemurs, sloths and
other tree-dwellers, there must have been some - smaller dino's - in the same
niche in the ages of the dinosaurs, and might they have looked like this chap .
. . or chapess; is it based on a real find? Hunted by Archaeopteryx perhaps!
I mean something more like giant Ghekos
maybe, not the opposable-thumbed chap modelled here (with his prehensile
tail!).
