There are some shows circulating called "Congo Curt". They sound modern
(1960s or later) and are a parody of adventure shows. I found an ebay auction
for a Congo Curt album that said they were from WKYC Cleveland. Does anyone
have any more information on this show? Please reply to list. Andrew

Subject:  Cracked, Mad, Sick et al

I was wondering when someone was going to mention "Sick" Magazine. God knows
I bought 'em all in my youth.

Speaking of Don Martin, as was done in the last thread (and pardon me for
being off OTR topic)... does anyone know if Mad/Time Warner plans on
reissuing any of those great Martin books (Steps Out, Bounces Back, Capt.
Klutz)? I recently bought reprints of the first several Mad paperbacks at a
discount bookstore, but have never seen anything from that late, great,
brilliant man.

Thanks for any enlightenment.

Subject:  What's My Line

I sometimes tape the old What's My Line episodes on the Game Show Channel.
At the end of an episode originally aired in Dec. 1952 John Daly invites the
audience to listen in for the radio version on Wednesday nights on CBS
Radio.
I'm sure these were just rebroadcasts of the TV audio tracks but in 20 yrs.
of collecting OTR I have never seen this program listed. Has anyone else?
