Did you notice how much work went into creating each of those pieces, geesh.
Someones got alot of time on thier hands or a very vivid dream brewin', LOL!

*Edited to add: This was post #666 for me, how appropriate
If you Click Here you can read 4,600+ comments from other people about it.

Seems it's from a piece written in Sam Clemen's later years called
"No.44 Mysterious Stranger" and can be found on DVD as Wil Vinton's
"The Adventures of Mark Twain"(1985)
-interesting to note that Will Vinton
was also the creator of the California Raisins.
