Whatever Happened to Mr. Red Box?

It appears that Tom K wasn't alone when he was younger, before his solitary confinement in the biscuit tin for more than 40 years! The other day on Chatbox, the guys started talking about and sharing photos of the Red Box Deep Sea Diver and I suddenly started to get flashbacks to 1970, playing with that thing in the bath and feeling pissed that the diver's suit started to split and fall apart and leak water everywhere. But, what happened to Mr. Red Box and his disastrous diver's suit?

Those of you that know Tom K from Chatbox, know that he can be a little petulant and difficult to impress, and that many a fine figure of a VAM has been fired from his team, for not being quite as perfect as he is. But! We are discovering now that Tom K is more of a Jekyll and Hyde character than we first imagined, so what did happen to Mr. Red Box back in those innocent and care free days of the Summer of 1970?

I seem to remember someone perhaps did away with him?

Tom K's Light Side


Tom K's Dark Side

I can hear the skeleton in Tom K's cupboard rattling!!

Summer 1970...While everyone was protesting about the war in Vietnam, mourning the drug related deaths of Jimmy Hendrix and Janice Joplin, and listening too Mungo Jerry, Edison Lighthouse and Mary Hopkin( )..

Sinister events were taking place in a garden shed in suburban South London.

Well it's now the subject of a cold case investigation....

Cool photos Ralph!

So when you killed Mr red box all those years ago (for fun I'll assume) what was your choice of fake blood?? Did you use Tommy k? (Tomato ketchup) oh! Wait!! Hang on.... Tommy K!?! TOM K!?!! am I seeing something here??? Lol

The Fiend!, poor old Mr Red!, It appears that we need an investigator to get to the bottom of this mystery??, Is it possible Tom K, had eaten some strange mushrooms???, it was the 70s after all !

Great Edits I like the skeleton face really good

Is it true that Tom K is preparing the re-installation of the vice in the shed??

Just found this, nice one!

I have fond memories of the Redbox figures Weren't they 1/8 scale?

A new twist has popped up in the Mr Redbox saga, step forward Mr Redbox...,

Mr Redbox God he looks really scary with them red eyes. I'm really liked the dark comic strip you did Dal, well done my friend. BUT IS this the END for Tom K, well we'll just have to look out for future comic stores.

Thanks Alex! I was hoping the red eyes would give him a darker evil character, and it looks like it worked
