 So these are some my Pogo minis that I've made over the years. Took me long enough to do this. Gernot suggested years ago that I post them here. As I come across more of my minis, I will post them too.

If you are here from Gernot's page and wondering what happened to him, since there hasn't been anything new posted in so long, I am extremely sorry to say that he passed away on Feb. 9, 2023, from Multiple Myeloma. (Just 5 days after his 61st birthday and 3 months and 1 week away from our 20th anniversary.) I miss him so much, of course. He was so funny and always had such a good temperment, (except when it came to politics). I was always hearing from people about what a good guy he was and about the good attitude he had. Life is just so dark without him now.

"YOU threw it, YOU fetch it."
 

"Yeah, we kicked ass...."

From when Tom Petty performed at the Super Bowl. That was the best Super Bowl halftime show I've seen, (imo).
 

"Witless Protection Program"
 

"What...me worry?"

Inspired by Mad magazine, of course.
 

"I've got your valentine, Baby."
 

"U 4got 2 give us homework."
 

"Who needs Trix, this is yummy!"
 

"Ma, check out Toby's new trick!"

Also from an old commercial. (Poor Toby. I hope he is better by now.)
 

"There aint no bugs on me..." 

From an old commercial.
 

"The Maytag died."

Back in the day, (way back when), Maytags never died. They always outlasted their repairmen, (according to the commercials).
 

"Thank you, Jesus."

I like to put this one on during  Passover/Easter time.
 

"Wasn't sleepin'. Just resting my eyes."

This is from back when so many air traffic controllers were caught sleeping on the job. I can't remember if this was picked for Hot Shots or not.

"Plz save us from animal abuse."
 

"I don't EVEN wanna know..."
 

"R-wing Robin Hood Back 4 more."
 

"He gave out raisins last yr."

("He" being the skeleton hanging up on the wall behind her, in case you can't see it.)
 

"Pogo Staff bday party."

"Pacifiers r cheaper than cigs."

This was for the "Kick butts with Pogo" event.

"[Long Island Iced] Tea Party."
 

"The prom was LAST night?"
 

"Kissn up 2 mini judge...MUAH."

You should have seen it! At every Hot Shot show, so many people would kiss up to the mini judges, hoping to win their favor. It was a slobbery mess. 
 

"Damn! It's the Bucket woman!" 

("It's Bouquet!" --for those of you who are Keeping Up Appearances fans, like me.)

In case you can't see it, that is a bottle of  "Pogo Bismol" in the front.
 

"Girl repellent"

"Gesundheit"

The background is more of Rosie O'Donnell's artwork that she contributed to Pogo. The character is an award from the Tri-Peaks Solitaire Deluxe game that Pogo used to have. 
 

"Now I'm free....free fallin'..."
 

"Free Credit Report dot com"
