If I hadn't just scanned this myself out of an old DELL Mighty Samson from Feb 1968, I would have assumed it was some kind of spoof.

Nope: My brother and I had one, when we were tots. Glowed at us out of the closet at night, that single giant eyeball. It was wild. (That's a dragon, at the base of the eyeball.)

This actually looks like a lot of fun. Wacky, but fun!

This looks sweet! I think my mom would have forbidden me from buying it though. XD

Kabala? Isn't that that Jewish Mysticism that Madonna belongs to?

Is that a boy in the first and third panels? If so, then perhaps his question shouldn't have been about baseball and should've been more like "Should I stop wearing Mom's makeup?"

I want one...
It may be cheap glow in the dark plastic, but I love playing with randomness and how we can use it to construct meaning...

I like the fortune in the last panel and how it ends with "material wealth" as if to imply that "emotional wealth" or "spiritual wealth" aren't on the list.

"You're going to be materially rich but morally bankrupt!"

Reminds me of the Chinese fortune, "May you live in interesting times."
