From one of the earlier episodes. Note the longer muzzle.
And bolder lines.






















Rocky doll of the era. New to me today.






The statue outside of what was the Jay Ward studios, on Sunset Boulevard.
Occasionally fleetingly visible in films. And said to bear the elbow prints of
his staff in its base.

Other than Gorshin's Riddler, my favorite of the Batman TV villains, Egghead.
For his eggcess of eggzasperating eggsclamations they eggcised every
eggsemplary eggspression in the dictionary. Eggcetera, eggcetera.

















Some marionettes I never saw before.
Glad I didn't.












From the late Ray Steckler's "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo", part orange, part blue.
A fun novelty film if you don't mind the first half being thieves and a stalker
tagging after Carolyn Brandt's can for what must be twenty minutes; (I don't).

Or the other half a pseudo go go romp with Rat Pfink standing in a sidecar
stalwartly peering ahead through most of their chase scenes.

Anyhow, there's nothing much else like it.
