"This...is...a gaff, an object created by the sideshow genius artist Doug Higley, and a respected collectible...Cryptozoologists are lax to not be aware of such items, so as not to confuse them with “real specimens.” However, at some level, these gaffs should be appreciated as popular cultural expressions of the impact of cryptozoology. Some people enjoy these sideshows, just as audiences have enjoyed Grade B monster movies in the 1950s. Creating gaffs is a dying art, except among a few famed artists such as Higley."
Aug 16: This new BIGFOOT Hoax is an IMPORTANT lesson for all 'Higley Show Folks'. If there is anything I have tried to teach you it is above all NOT TO LIE. Present your 'MYSTERY' as a question and it can remain an entertainment, something for your guests to ponder. It is when you lie that you ultimately look the fool and the cheat. Allow them their follies but NEVER LIE your way to their dollar. Doug Higley
