Great Space Coaster Tapestries
Description: The Great Space Coaster is about three young singers (Francine, Danny, and Roy) who are brought to a habitable asteroid in space called Coasterville by a clown named Baxter who pilots the "space coaster", a roller coaster-like spaceship. The asteroid is populated by strange-looking, wise-cracking puppet characters such as Goriddle Gorilla, Knock Knock the Woodpecker, Edison the Elephant, and Gary Gnu. Baxter is forever on the run from M.T. Promises, a nefarious ringmaster who plans to re-capture Baxter and return him to the circus he worked at before he escaped. Each episode ends with a different life lesson, and various celebrity guest stars (such as Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame and composer Marvin Hamlisch) occasionally dropped by.

Description: A forgotten Saturday-morning trip back to 1981. This retro cosmic coaster design celebrates the wonderfully strange world of The Great Space Coaster with a speeding space ride, distant planets, futuristic Coasterville scenery, and loud vintage screen-print colors. Distressed ink, chunky throwback lettering, and an old-school “No Gnews” nod give it the feel of a treasured kids-club shirt pulled straight from an early-'80s drawer. Made for 80s kids, vintage television collectors, puppet-show nostalgia fans, and anyone who still remembers when Saturday mornings meant cartoons, cereal, and seriously weird adventures through space.

Description: Dr. Shrinker was a segment during the first season of the ABC network's The Krofft Supershow in 1976. Dr. Shrinker (Jay Robinson) is a mad scientist who creates a shrink ray that can miniaturise anything. Three young adults named Brad Fulton (Ted Eccles), B.J. Masterson (Susan Lawrence) and her brother Gordie Masterson (Jeff MacKay), crash land their plane on an island. As they make their way to the only house on the island, they meet Dr. Shrinker and his assistant, Hugo (Billy Barty). Dr. Shrinker, in an effort to prove that his shrinking ray works, shrinks the three people down to six inches tall.
