Audio Adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of OZ, Crown Publishers, Inc., 1961
Stan’s Soap Opera
It’s the crossover story YOU, the fan, demanded! Or maybe not. It’s Marvel Comics meets the CBS soap opera The Guiding Light!
A tip of the Spidey mask to Dennis F. Rogers for tipping me off to this monumental — or perhaps just mental — publishing/broadcasting event!
You’re A Bully, Charlie Brown
I was a bit surprised by today’s reprint of Peanuts. It’s from November 5, 1959.
Doesn’t it seem out of character for Charlie Brown to be making fun of somebody else, especially Linus?
Some … WHAT Blog?

AUGH! The jig and gig are up. Comedy Central knows the truth, and they’re out to stop us bloggers.
According to this item on ZDNet, YouTube™ is being forced to remove Comedy Central video clips. There are still plenty of Colbert clips online there, but for how long? Will they come after the cruddy bloggers?
Insulin Insult
This is the pile of leftover Halloween candy that I took to work today. I put it in the kitchen area of my floor, and it sure didn’t last long! Went quicker than any previous year, even the last-to-go Starbursts.
Who Am I?
A friend where I work needed a favor. She had an idea for a presentation that required the old Who song “Who Are You” — but it couldn’t have the swear words in it.
I was in the radio business when the song came out, and there was a short, cleaned-up single version. Not having the single handy, I made one of my own. Although the question should be asked, who am I to touch a Who song?
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Sounds/Wordpress/OCT06/SongEdit.mp3,http://www.dograt.com/Sounds/Wordpress/OCT06/SongOriginal.mp3]On the audio player is my edit, followed by the original. This was transferred from the vinyl LP I bought the week that the album was released in 1978. I don’t think the album is all that great, actually, so I never bought the CD.
Can you tell where the four edits are? The deletion at 4:38 was the trickiest. It’s at 5:34 in the unedited cut.
