Farewell, Mayor of the City Dump

Sad news.  Our Beloved JP Patches, Mayor of the City Dump, passed away.  Patches Pals everywhere are hoping for one last "look in the dryer" message on their ICU2 TV Sets...

Seriously, JP is absolutely woven through my childhood memories.  The JP Patches Show was the longest running children's show in America, and we watched it before and after school every day. 

JP, Gertrude, Tikey Turkey, Ketchikan the Animal Man, Professor Weiner Von Brown, Grandpa Tick-Tock....

Thanks, Japes.  You will be missed.

Ezmerelda, Sturdley the book worm. Who was the sinister guy?

p.s. funny how so many "hate" clowns, but not JP, I don't think he was seen as a clown.

Laurie said...

how could I have forgotten Sturdley!?? Boris S. Schwartz, The Second Meanest Man In The World.

And I agree, JP was the only non-creepy clown. All the rest = creepasaurus.
