Continuing with his tradition, Weird Paul Petroskey once again treats us to his remarkable original content from his younger days on his Vlog. This week, he's shared a video showcasing something he mentioned just a few days back – a homemade Star Wars Catalog he put together back in 1983. Now, I'm all about this sort of thing, so when he dropped this little teaser, my anticipation shot through the roof. It's safe to say, the results did not disappoint.

This DIY catalog is brimming with the kind of enchantment that only a 12-year-old, armed with a glue stick, scissors, and a stack of construction paper, can conjure up. Just imagine the possibilities if he'd had a bowl of glitter in the mix!

In his latest Vlog video, Paul takes center stage, proudly unveiling this catalog to the world. And let me tell you, the unveiling is a treat you won't want to miss. The youthful creativity oozing from every page is enough to make you smile. It's an engaging glimpse into a time when crafting and imagination were your greatest allies. So, if you're curious about the magic Paul has woven into this catalog, I urge you to give his new video a watch. It's an experience that harkens back to a simpler era, when ingenuity and a dash of whimsy were all you needed to make something truly special.

Pretty amazing, huh? Well, Paul also scanned the catalog. If you want to see higher resolution images (lot of detail you are missing), you should drop by Weird Paul’s Twitch Page, where he shares lots of great stuff every week.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
