So the first image was found by googling "children's show 1958" it's Captain Pugot or something. #2 is from googling "mash potatoes on a plate". #3 is from googling "lots of stuff".
So Bob was a local kid show host from the days when stuff was always broken and not polished. One take from one camera and you can hear the camera man coughing.
The tv dinner is how he lives. Nothing depressing about it just that he is a survivalist and doesn't need much. He also seems to be the only person who can still get Tv dinners that ;look like this. The basement is top to bottom with the collection-boulder of his life.
Conor, this is so great. I love the TV-show host idea so much, I can't stand it. I literally have to sit down for lack of standing ability.
ReplyDeleteCould we maybe have a fun contrast between his being particular about dinner servings staying separate (as in a TV dinner) and the sheer chaos of his collection? I keep thinking "Hoarders" jokes for him, to which we should probably avoid direct reference. But still and all.
