Easternmost Goofy Statue

Spotted this guy holding a fish in Eastport Maine, the easternmost city in the United States according to their sign. This must be the easternmost Muffler Man in the United States.

[John Basic, 10/13/2005]

Nice find -- he's not a Muffler Man, though his arm position comes close. He's probably the goofiest easternmost statue in the US.
