ROMBERG RABBIT

Blog viewers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s will remember ROMBERG RABBIT! ROMBERG RABBIT was seen on WGN-TV's, GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS (hosted by FRAZIER THOMAS). This is a color sketch I did a few years ago. Below is a 1970s GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS postcard. The show's puppeteer, ROY BROWN, did the artwork. BROWN was also COOKY on WGN-TV's, BOZO's CIRCUS.

BOZO & GAR

From my blog sidebar, here's BOZO and GARFIELD GOOSE! Perhaps these two pieces will be included in an upcoming book on classic Chicago kids TV shows.

COOKY

If you grew up in the Chicago area during the 1970s, as I did, you will remember COOKY from WGN-TV's, BOZO's CIRCUS. COOKY was played by the great ROY BROWN. What a great time for kids TV in Chicago! I did this COOKY piece for fun. Check my blog sidebar for my GARFIELD GOOSE art!

THE FUNNY COMPANY

Growing up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s, I used to watch THE FUNNY COMPANY on WGN-TV Channel 9's children's show, GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS. Hosted by FRAZIER THOMAS and featuring the puppets GARFIELD GOOSE, ROMBERG RABBIT, MACINTOSH MOUSE and BEAUREGARD BURNSIDE III, GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS also showed CLUTCH CARGO and JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME. Here's the original painted art for one of the 1960s FUNNY COMPANY puzzles produced by Western Printing. Below, I've re-posted a "portrait" of GARFIELD GOOSE that I did.
