i like how you spelled out "twenty-third".

[zieglarf]

I'm still laughing at this one.

Mr. Lazarus was really selling the bit!

Mel looks like a fun guy. Thanks again Tom!

OK, then a better way to say it would be "I could tell it was bogus even before it was smashed." What I wonder is if there is a real bench it was based on, or if it was totally made up. (P.S.: Actually I think Segar died in 1938, *at* 44.)

It was a gag!

If it were real do you think he would have smashed it?

[ftg3plus4]

I'm pretty sure the piano bench is bogus... no way it was around to be signed by Elzie Segar (who died in 1944) just for a start!

Mell Lazarus' famous piano! Luckily you didn't sit on it to sing the ballad of Ernie Bushmiller.

Smart shirt you're wearing Tom.
