No, I never scratched any of these. Even if I did wonder what Punk Berry Penguin was like. According to the promo material (printed on the back) they are “KAPOW! (Kid Activated Power Scents!) Super Fun Scented Bookmarks Activated by Scratch Action!” I’d be concerned that some of that smell might come off on the book I was reading!

These were definitely for kids, who would probably TRY to rub it on the book to make it smell 🙂

They’d probably try to eat them too . . .

No slobbery corners on any of these! I do have a bookmark with bits of chocolate attached that I don’t think I’ve posted a picture of. I’ll have to look for that.

I understand the spiked hair and the nose ring, but what’s up with the safety pin on the penguin?

Safety pins (mostly through eyebrows) were a big part of punk couture back in the day!

Oh, right, the eyebrow thing.
I’ve looked it up and I managed (thankfully, really) to miss it even though I was right in the midst of it. It started in Austin in 78, but I was still in Dallas, where it didn’t really hit until 84. Meanwhile, by 82 when I got there it had moved to the outskirts of Austin. So I managed to slip through unscathed!

You were indeed lucky. The punk movement were all phonies and poseurs. It was awful. There’s a reason it never came back.
