Mr Dress-up has passed away. I'll never forget him or his tickle-trunk. I am not even sure what I like so much about the show but I will confess that I watched it for a long time, it used to be on at 11:30 every weekday.



"Mr. Coombs had joked in interviews that he wanted to be laid out on display in the trunk upon his death like former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin."



I am surprised how much of the show I remember. Right now I can hear the theme music in my head, but many other details are sketchy.
