I found this pink chalk figure at a flea market in Ky. I just had to bring it home. It now has a place of honor in my basement tiki bar. I assume the knitted hat is original to it, but since Ive never seen anything like it “who knows”

It’s actually pretty spectacular. You’re right that it’s a perfect combination of creepy and cool. I don’t usually like things this odd, somewhere between a frog and an old lady who’s somehow in the nude and with a tail and a little thrift shop lady hat.
I always love when lipstick is sprayed onto these types of figures.
I would’ve definitely picked this up had I stumbled upon it.
Any manufacturer’s or artist’s markings on the bottom?
wasn’t that a creature on the old “Outer Limits” tv show?!
wow, that is freaking creepy. Yeah, and cool.
Unfortunately. no markings at all, In the 50′s and 60′ there was an amusement park in Louisville that gave away alot of chalk figures as prizes. Most were marked Fontaine Ferry Park, but not all. The ones that are marked are quite collectable in Ky.
I Love it. I have no idea why Moms Mabley comes to mind when I look at this, but I want one. Maybe the way Moms used to open her eyes really wide on TV.
Bubbles the artist loved Moms Mabley: http://www.bubblestheartist.com/comedians/momsmabley.html
I am so jealous over this that I can’t hit it this jealous button fast enough.
I’m insanely jealous of this — I have a soft spot for “creepy” and monkeys so this creature with a thyroid condition is right up my alley!
This is incredibly creepy!
