This was from a tape donated to The Museum of Classic Chicago Television by Jim Mack. (Thanks, Jim!)

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives – the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!

This is a little figure we’re tentatively calling the “POCKETNAUT”. The idea is it’s like a little astronaut style character that can go in your pocket. Maybe the little grooves, bumps, and nubbies are for tactile/feel, and the figure can be a type of worry stone.

I make regular videos with the help of direct support.
