The Star Wars pencil case and the art of fatherhood

I saw this on ebay the other day and, as a real sucker for all things vintage Star Wars and tempted beyond reason, I bought it for myself.  The pencil case is new but the images on it are all from the Marvel run of comics, from Star Wars (1977) through to Empire Strikes Back (1980).


It arrived today and I let Dude open the envelope.  As soon as he saw he loved it - "I'll take it to school tomorrow, it's so cool!" - and I didn't have the heart to say it was for me.  So I caved, he now has this one and I've just ordered myself another!
