Crayola WeeGee

Crayola has an online coloring page maker - so I thought why not do someting devilish with it? And while war photos and starving children might be the obvious cold hearted ironic choice, I went over to If Charlie Parker Etc. and helped myself to some of the fine WeeGee photos they have there and did the following coloring book pages (click for bigger, already !!):

This one's called Season's Greetings....



it came from this....


...and this one's called "Future Crime"



it came from this....


Trivia: WeeGee did special distortion effects for the Red Skelton pic The Yellow Cab Man !!



NOW IT'S YOUR TURN _ GET TA WOIK!

What the F#$K? Zombies? Fer rills?

I Love Lucy

But apparently the archivists at Jamestown, NY's Prendergast Library love her even more, presumably because it's her home town.




Sucky navigation, but lots of interesting tidbits, such as childhood photos and wire service obituaries, all mixed in with some non-Lucy stuff, too.

Dorothy Fuldheim

When BoingBoing posted this trippy local TV news promo the other day, I thought it seemed eerily familiar. So I checked with my mom, and yes, we got this station back in Pennsylvania where I grew up. She even went as far as to say "I remember Gib Shandley and Dorothy Fuldheim as if they were old friends." So I did a little research and apparently this Dorothy character was quite a legend in Cleveland. A distinguished reporter and interviewer, Dorothy was the first woman to host a TV news magazine in the US. She was also more than a little bit batty.



Here Dorothy extols the accuracy of Channel 5's weather reporting. (Love the outfit!)



Dorothy comes out of the closet... as a Democrat!



Dorothy's generosity is without limit.

Rumor has it Dorothy's ghost still haunts the studio!
