Roy the Toxic Boy is my favourite character from Tim Burton's The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories. These mugs were sold out on Adlibris but they got another delivery of these so I finally got one for myself. I even had to reorganize the shelves so now I have one for Tragic Toys -stuff only.

-his friends-
we called him Roy.
To others he was known
as that horrible Toxic Boy.

He loved ammonia and asbestos,
and lots of cigarette smoke.
What he breathed in for air
would make other people choke!

His very favorite toy
was a can of aerosol spray;
he'd sit quietly and shake it,
and spray it all the day.

in the early-morning frost,
waiting for the car to start

The one and only time
I ever saw Toxic Boy cry
was when some sodium chloride
got into his eye.

His face went deathly pale

Whoever thought that you could die

As Roy's soul left his body
we all said a silent prayer.
It drifted up to heaven
