## The story

Pull the string on his back and Grumpa Gus complained about something: the weather, the thermostat, kids these days. There were twelve phrases, and every family had a favorite. His voice slowed down as the string wore out, which somehow made him even funnier. Real grandpas loved him most of all.

## Fun fact

His most famous line was 'Who touched the thermostat?' and plenty of households adopted it as a family motto.
