Uncle Scoopy's world-weary musings about naked celebrities, sports, humor and other important, manly things.
The High And The Mighty.
Bravissimo!
Oh, dang! I thought that was Clifford the Big Red Dog … in grey tones, of course, to “hide” it. I thought we might be looking for some High Cliffs somewhere!
I’m sort of proud and sort of embarrassed that I can recognize Mighty Manfred, the Wonder Dog on sight, although I have not seen any of those Tom Terrific cartoons since they originally aired, 70 years ago. The pride comes in that I seem to have a truly uncanny memory. The embarrassment comes in that fact that I can’t remember whether I ate lunch or where I set my reading glasses, despite the fact that I can still sing all words to all the songs from the kiddie shows and Westerns of the 1950s, and that I can remember that Tom Terrific and Mighty Manfred had to prevent Crabby Appleton from stealing all the holidays from the calendar.
