Couch Potato Story

Item #5052

(May, 1988) The Couch Potato is in his favorite position, with his shoes off and the “telly” on. His Woodspirit friends gave him this nickname because he has a “pot” and a big toe. He meant to mend that hole in his sock, but he decided to wait for Thimblena to come by and mend it for him. He’s been on the couch for so long that his potato has begun to wither! His coin is a German beer token and his pillow is a French fried potato. The Couch Potato was watching his favorite television show, “Masterpiece Theater.” But he has dosed off, and now he’ll miss what comes on next—“The World of Tom Clark” video. He hasn’t even noticed that a leaf has drifted onto him. But he was last heard to mutter, “Leaf me alone.”
