Published in TV Guide (May 4-10 1968)
By 1968, Ted Mack had been a television host for 21 years, a run simply unheard of at the time. His television show, "The Original Amateur Hour," then the world's longest-running TV show, brought a wide variety of amateur acts into America's living rooms, including the occasional mishap from "jugglers who can't, and talking dogs who don't." TV Guide covered it with an article called "Ted Mack Reminisces" in which Mr. Mack recounted a few of the more memorable things that had transpired over the decades of putting on the live show. The article is by Lucianne Goldberg, today a stalwart of conservative media, but back in '68 she was crafting such sensitive prose as "One little fatty began to lose a stocking but, being a trouper, kept on tapping."
TV Guide had a veritable arsenal of illustrative talent at its disposal, but it must have seemed natural that such a story about wayward amateur acts should be quirkily illustrated by George Price, a cartoonist who chronicled all manner of oddballs and misfits for decades in the New Yorker and other publications.
