Peter inscribed “Platypus” to help identify this furry-bodied mammal with webbed feet and poisonous spur claws. Human activity is again evidenced by the recurring tin can motif. The mouse is accompanied by a computer “mouse” to celebrate the purchase of Peter’s first computer. Inside the box are 3 platypus eggs. The inscription “Where’s Bob?” is a friendly reference to HK’s Bob McKinlay, a man so busy and on the move, one is never quite sure where to find him. At the April 1998 ICE Show held in Edison, New Jersey, one hundred collectors were invited to paint their own Version during the first HK painting seminar. Hallmarks include ©, diamond, HBC logo, ed.#, and Pc.
