Rummaging through the Fort Greene Flea Market on a lovely Labor day weekend, I came across a Beetle Comb, for those times where you just gotta comb those beetles outta your hair!
I immediately knew it belonged here..at the Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch!

It should be no surprise to anyone who knows my kitsch tastes that I would go wild over this Beetle Comb. One of my favorite genres of kitsch is when people try and capitalize on a craze and veer horribly off. Here they tried to get as close as humanly possible to the Beatles with a really bad graphic of an upset band member getting chased by the actual namesake insect who, despite an illustration showing him with uniform legs, has one back leg with a dangling appendage.
I absolutely love the dancing comb.
I’m dying because I see that there were at least 3 Beetle Comb for sale. Should you happen to spend another day of your lovely Labor Day weekend at the flea market please pick up all available Beetle combs and I will happily reimburse you!

This is absolutely worthy of every award possible! This has me laughing out loud! Geez, I love awmok.com!

Agree with everybody above, this is a gem. I also like the fact that inexplicably there’s a slash (/) between Beetle and Comb which implies the package contains a beetle and a comb, when in fact it contains a beetle and a beetle comb.

Excellent detail work as always, Doug!
