Cryptomundo buddy Boing Boing’s David Pescovitz received a great acknowledgment for his service to cryptozoology on July 22nd: Design Toscano’s Garden Yeti.

It was presented to him by Nick Philip of the Imaginary Foundation.

Congratulations to David!

BTW, David mentions that his two-and-half year old son Lux was “slightly scared of the creature at first, but then he cautiously walked up, examined him closely, and finally patted him on the head and said ‘Nice Bigfoot! Bigfoot is nice!’”

As an update to the situation with the stolen Bigfoot/Garden Yeti from Niki’s Quick Six, the latest word is that despite hopes it would “come home” soon, it has not been recovered.

Here’s a repeat of the video, regarding that incident:
