So what does a young comedian do when he hits the top, meaning the Johnny Carson "Tonight Show" and decides he doesn't want to stay there once he moves back home to Minnesota?

Joel Hodson remains as inventive off stage as on, and he's happier about it. Right now he one-of-a-kind "robot" figures are on sale exclusively at Props, Greg Meyer's new shop at Calhoun Square.

Hodgson's sense of humor shows in the materials he uses--all plastic objects found in the house, including a baby's car seat, baby-bottle nipples, a helmet, a view-finder and so on. Go and see.
