Re: BEN TURPIN IS BACK!
Wow! This is turning out to be a great year for our peculiar addiction; perhaps not for the floor creaking beneath the strain of our crammed bookshelves. This is the third "must-have" tome to come out this month. Any chance you'll be at Slapsticon, Steve?

Wow! Thanks for posting that, Paul. After watching it, I'm surprised he wasn't all over TV in the early Sixties. (Except of course for the Abbott & Costello Show re-runs, and cartoon, and movie packages.) It's clear that he could have had another phase of his career as a character actor.
