Sculpted Figure. USA. Tom Clark. Couch Potatoe. Gnome Sleeping in a Potato. 1988. 3''H

(May, 1988) The Couch Potatoe is in his favorite position, with his shoes off and the "telly on. His Woodspirit friends gave him this nickname because he has a "pot' and a big toe. He meant to mend that hole in his sock, but he decided to wait for Thimblena to come by and mend it for him. He's been on , the couch for so long that his potato has begun to wither! His coin is a German beer token and his pillow is a French fried potato. The Couch Potatoe was watching his favorite television show, "Masterpiece Theater." But he has dozed off, and now he'll miss what comes on next - "The World of Tom Clark" video. He hasn't even noticed that a leaf has drifted onto him. But he was last heard to mutter, "Leaf me alone."
