    Hell I’d settle for Cardboard tube Samurai but I don’t think I can pull off the yellow kimono.

    Or collect TWO cardboard tubes and make a Blastoise costume… or use them as antennae for a bug costume!

    Use a long tube for a walking stick or to be a dick saying you have a very long one and could piss out of it.

    Trumpet. Definitely trumpet. Or sword, yeah, that too. Antennae for a Bug Costume would also be awesome.
    And the mental image of C3PO on heroin kills!

    I’ve always been partial to the cardboard tube swords myself, until they break in the middle, then they turn to cardboard tube nunchucks!

      Coulda been “pissed-off toaster”… but the kid does look more like an Easy-Bake. Great panel, by the way, Adam!

      And cardboard tubes, if nothing else, are great gerbil toys. Those little suckers can shred tubes in no time flat.

    A couple of lengths of flexible dryer vent hoses + picture of robot from the Lost in Space TV show + silver paint and some tape and cardboard = robot with flexible arms. Danger, Will Robinson, Danger.

    Tubes, we don’t need no stinkin’ tubes.

    Who’s in their right mind will throw away a good cardboard tube? that thing is very useful! I mean we can use it for listening on somebody, part of a costume, a man made cheap binocular, kinky marital aid, a toy mace, ball dispenser, digderidoo…….

    Gee, / always have to use it as a didgeridoo/light saber/baton before throwing it out. Also a Family Member Bonker. Basically, whoever uses up the wrapping paper gets a new toy and to assault the others. = P

    I love my parents.
