Tom Copenhaver, still digging through his mighty Charles Foster Kane-like treasure trove, unearthed more Chuck-related items and had this to say: "Chuck loved the Changeable Charlie. Every time he would come to my
house, he would play with this toy. I had two of them and eventually
gave him one of them, probably when we were in the third or fourth
grade. Attached is the one I kept. Years later Chuck found a related
toy, Changeable Charlie's Aunt and passed it along to me."
To me, your humble blogger, playing with Changeable Charlie's Aunt is an exercise in monster creation. I remember a much later exchange between Chuck and Bill Hill. Bill, after Chuck bragged that he had found something cool probably at a yard sale or flea market: "Chuck, when did YOU become interested in monsters and monster-related items?" The world may never know.

| Charlie's Aunt, on the other hand, is just too ghoul for school. Uncle! |
