This episode features Kenner Puzzles in the US and Canada from 1977 to 1979. Ron Salvatore joins to discuss his article and Canada’s Greatest Know-it-All Scott! Bradley Bradley jumps in to talk about the Canadian versions. We learn about the mysterious disappearing rebels from the medal ceremony, the meaning of “electric mauve” and a Canadian food promotion featuring monstrous gobblers. All this plus a little discussion of the Archive Party at the end of the show on the eighth “Blog Log Pod.”
