Ol' Smiler (kicking the bucket) and so many Rankin/Bass alumni in this classic, which I first saw on New Year's many years ago 🤣 #jimmydurante #ethelmerman #dickshawn #terrythomas #jackbenny #mickeyrooney #stanfreberg #buddyhacket #jackdavis #itsamadmadmadmadworld

I found the big W!

SID CAESAR R.I.P.

Ironically, I watched Sid in the very cool Stan Freberg commercials last night on the new IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD blu ray. My friend Jack Davis did this new piece of art for the Blu Ray DVD booklet :)   Sid was another great in television entertainment and his passing was covered by all of the news media...if the same could only be said for Arthur Rankin, Jr., I would be happy!
