MUSHROOM, LOON, RACCOON & etc. artist, the lamentably late Joan Beringer Pripps, pictured below, painted these true Rocky Raccoon rocks for sale in her cottage shop near Springstead WI called THE STUDIO IN THE WOODS. They date from the 50s or 60s and have been in the proud possession of friend of the SRN and Pripps collector David James, Tucson AZ ever since. David sent a polaroid of the rocks to us today, herewith presented. Note the tails curled at their sides.
