This Michelin Man has seen better days. I remember seeing these guys atop many a tractor trailer truck when I lived in France in the late sixties/first half of seventies. Perhaps this guy jumped ship...er...truck, and decided to stay in the Republika Srpska where I photographed him. Someone even gave him a Šajkača to wear.

Poor guy!!
I have funny memories of him scaring me when I was a kid..
Are you sure he isn't a Yugo salesman? Looks just like the guy that sold one to me.
He is cute! Some of the truck here, get those Micheline dolls in front of their truck.

Can always count on you to come up with something original. This is brilliant! Poor Michelin man.
He looks the worse for wear, but someone sure still likes him.
A very unique choice for the theme.
Funny and perfect .. he does look as if he need retreading
this is fabulous. what a find. great image for theme day
Yeah, I remember Michelin Man, right along with the Pillsberry Doughboy -:) This guy looks like he needs to be in assisted living at the very least, if not the convalescent center!
Happy May Day!
Yes, trust you not to give us a guy on a horse!
cute and funny! Fun for theme day!
Another light-hearted take on the theme and I love it! Enough with warrior statues and religious stuff!
Great catch for theme day and none too soon!
LOL at B SQUARED!
