The great Soupy Sales died


In many ways , the performer who may have given me more enjoyment as a kid then anyone...completely irreverent and loveable at the same time

The black cat with the violin was "Midnight" he was part of Andy's gang with Andy Devine.
RIP Soupy & thanks for all the laughs & memories of my childhood.
Hey fmpnd. That was Morgus the Magnificent with his sidekick Chopsley along with Eric the skull. What a campy hoot. Production budget must have run about 50 bucks per episode. And they'd just drag in schlubs off the street to participate in their "experiments".

BTW, Morgus is a guy named Sid Noel.

Growing up in Highland Park, MI in the 50's it was Soupy Sales and Vernors soda for me. Soupy was the best. Soupy had a laugh and a smile that made me want to laugh at everything he did.

Do you remember when he was doing a skit and there was a naked girl off camera that caught him of guard. I think she was there just for him trying to mess up his routine and he just kept laughing through his whole routine.
