In today's Anthrohio pictures it's nothing but the Car Show. ... The Car Show featuring a special guest star, too. You ready?
Well, it looks like someone at the car show has been choosing the form of the destructor, doesn't it?
Here's the slowly-inflating Marshmallow Man's arm, ready to crush a Buick or something.
And here, the Marshmallow Man prepares to eat someone who's showing off their V6 engine.
Here's the car-parts-bearing trophy for whoever comes in furst at the Anthrohio car show.
Here's the view inside one of those 60s cars where the hood opens the wrong direction, from back in the day when every car was built around a giant bundt cake.
I'm assuming they reupholstered, you just didn't get rug patterns like this stock in '68 Or Whatever. ... Hang on, computer?
All right, but could you lay hands on the fire extinguisher in your car if you needed one like this?
The owner was quite proud of his trunk which, as you can see, has enough space to house a family of six.
Oh, look alert, everybody, the Marshmallow Man is ready to announce the contest winner!
Yes, it's this adorable toothpaste-flavored car that won! It has cute eyes and fangs.
Otter(?) comes out to have a talk with Marshmallow Man, here.
And the otter(?) vanquishes the Marshmallow Man. That's enough for the car show, now.
Trivia: All federal subsidies to steamships carrying the mail were abolished after the public revelation in 1872 that the directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company (carrying letters to the Far East) had spent $900,000 pumping the company's stock price and bribing Congress to increase its annual subsidy to $1,000,000.

(But not the only reason; quite important is that any time any company or port city got a subsidy every company that didn't, or port city that didn't, got very whiny.)
