Ugly Teddy

Some Teddies have skulls for heads! Why not?

All skulls were acquired second-hand as by-products. No animals were harmed for the purpose of making these Teddies!

Aah, George and Missy. Old-fashioned romantic lovers they were, always very proper, never even held hands in public. ... Or maybe they were overt and obnoxious, I can't quite remember.

In a private collection.

This guy makes creepy little squeaking-laughing-yodeling noises at night, and it drives everybody CRAZY.

The cutest baby chick on the planet. Seriously, Cheepers makes all those living baby chicks look like baby ... Ants, or something. (Baby ants are ugly, right?)

Cluckers thinks he's the hottest rooster on the block, strutting around and crowing like a fiend. No one has the heart to tell him that he has no vocal cords (or legs, for that matter), and that all the crowing and strutting is just in his head. In his mind, though, he's a beast!

Grubbin! Oh, how could I forget dear darling Grubbin? This guy was the best! He had a thing for stealing socks, but that seems to be common among some Teddies.

This guy is now hanging out all the way over in the Netherlands -- how cool is that?

Not all of the skull teddies tell us their stories -- some just pass through. Below is a collage of random skullies, big and small!

Hmm, I just noticed they're all in shades of red or pink -- that's a little odd, isn't it?
