I actually created several of these (about ten in total) last month with the kids. Took some pictures of the making of my favorite.

It should be emblazoned with the line: THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS, in honor of Woodie Guthrie (This Land is Your Land fame) but er…kids. Not appropriate.

And no, I am not one those fancy maker cats. But I will be, ladies and gentlemen. I’m gunnin’ for you.

Cool Beans, dude. You won’t believe this, but my wife has actually been after me to make some of these. She has been saving cigar boxes from work for years now. She just saw yours and flipped so now I’ve got to take appropriate action. Thanks. Any tips?

That’s funny. It reminded me of a kids show, Emmett Otters Jugband Christmas. Thanks for the memory.
