I’m surprised Skylar even knows who Ed Sullivan is…

I do. I was five when he had on his “really big show”.

De kleur is fijn!

Dutch?

Now here’s a little story, I like to tell, about three bad brothers, you know so well, It started way back in history…

Subtorp, he’s probably heard LOTS about Ed Sullivan from Cosmo.

Who!?

I believe he’s making reference to when the Beatles were on Ed’s show.

carmy says: “I believe he’s making reference to when the Beatles were on Ed’s show.”

Exactly. Ironically, Ed Sullivan was the least talented person on his show.

grazer; I believe he knew that. His major talent as the late Fred Allen said, was pointing and saying” Here they are”

Does anybody know what “Charlie Crone Day” is? (3rd. panel)

Ed Sullivan had a tremendous talent as a talent scout. He was great at judging what acts the American people would like.

As to the quote, nobody said, “The British are coming!” We WERE British in the 1770’s. What Paul Revere would have shouted was, “The Regulars are coming.” As it is, he was arrested before completing his ride.

OMG, That just took me back to 4th grade!!! The first time the Beatles appeared in America! I can see that all so clearly in my head right now!

And speaking of Ed Sullivan, remember the little mouse and his puppeteer? Oh HEAVENS WHAT WAS THE MOUSE’S NAME? Anybody out there know?

Mouse was named Topo Giglio
