Hot Dog!


I love this. Genuine ephemera. The lady looked puzzled when I asked for just the bag, thanks.

So what’s going on here? I think our sausage is looking happy about something, possibly ‘excited expectation’. My daughter thinks he looks frightened or apprehensive. I can’t see it myself.

But what, in god’s name, is he doing wearing skis? Is there some obscure refernce to ‘hotdogging’ I don’t quite get?

The irony is that I was looking a bit sunburned at the time and was wearing shades and a fetching panama hat. It was not winter. In fact, I don’t think Port Fairy has seen snow since the last Ice Age. He’s definitely not from these parts.
