Svengoolie and Screamin' Yellow Theater from WFLD is about to hit Fifty!

My favorite horror host of all-time is Svengoolie!  I remember learning to draw from watching How To Make A Monster on his show and seeing those great opening titles of an artist drawing Teenage Werewolf!  I popped in my DVD of Jerry's Svengoolie and I am always floored by how funny he was!  He signed many things for me, when I visited his restaurants in San Diego many years ago.   What an incredibly talented guy and he is definitely missed!

The Dragon Wagon

When I picked up my books yesterday, Denny (who coordinates all of our orders) brought up Bill Jackson out of the blue. He said in the early 1970s (when in school), he collected garbage part time in the summer and collected Bill's garbage (bags and bags of letters) in Des Plaines. He said he would see him driving around town in an old Model T. I said that must have been the car he used for Parades. Bill got a chuckle out of it and said: "The vintage car he mentions was my 1917 Model T called the Dragon Wagon." #bjanddirtydragon #billjackson #wfld #dragonwagon #cartoontown Photo C. 2017 Bill Jackson
