RIght, from the Nairobi Trio.
Now find the Gocomic where I mentioned the music they played?
And “poetry Lover”, it was Percy Dovetonsils
I feel so smart this am, but I am done now.
Morning, Ms M.
Night all.
“Thunder and high winds…” Oh, Burl, you’re so mean!!
Did something go wrong on that first balloon? Looks like some text is missing.
Is this a new contest, Julie? Find the missing text!!
First, did some of the first dialog balloon get whited-out? It seems to be missing words. Second, I’ve seen that dress! At a Kansas City Star Trek convention just after Star Trek The Motion Picture was released. One of the costume contestants was… the V-Ger cloud! I think she placed first for creativity. OMG! It was Verl!
Thanx MontanaLady, I usually don’t catch the Night Owl edition. I saw Marguerite’s new avatar first on The Argyle Sweater and asked her about Solfege/ Solfeggio. She countered with another great clip.
I think that Ernie Kovacs was probably was one of the greatest comedic minds when TV was truly innovative and entertaining. The YouTube clips are great ways to look back in time.
I send a lot of dud & clunkers out there, but once in a while…
Trivia question: What actor’s father was influential in bringing Ernie Kovaks to New York?
(I would never have known it without the internet. Who says you can’t learn anything new after 30? or was it 40, 50…?)
Trivia guess: Was it network exec Pat Weaver, father of Sigourney? (I was a fan of Kovacs when he was on a local station in Philly, before moving to NYC. I think his morning show was supposed to be called “Deadline for Breakfast” but he made it “Dead Lion for Breakfast”.)
As for the garbled text, who knows what ha p ed? But I do believe D_S got it right.
I still say it’s a repeat, and Dinette_Setter’s fill-in-the-blank made the memory even stronger. Not meaning anything bad, but when other strips repeat a comic, at least they put “Best of …” or “Revisited” or something to make people know that they’re not going crazy when they think it’s familiar. Or maybe that was just the voices in my head. Yeah, yeah, you’re all just jealous that they don’t talk to you …

Oh yeah, love the ‘Best in Show’ sign.
leakysqueaky712 over 14 years ago
Hmmm
At first I thought Emmett Kelly
But on second look, maybe a throwback to the Ernie Kovac skits??
The only one I remember was Percy Dovetail. Or was it Dovetonsils??

“Best in Show” is an appropriate sign. She looks like one of those dumb poodles at Westminster.

Thanks Marguerite. I had forgotten all about the Dutch Masters cigars. Used to keep my baseball cards in them.
