Venice Beach, once known for its canals (Most of them now filled in) and its Amusement piers, first the Abbot Kinney Pier, then the Venice Amusement Pier (not to be confused with the current fishing pier) …both burned… Later, the Ocean Park Amusement Pier was built just north of the border betwixt Venice and Santa Monica… It also eventually burned… For a few years in the 50s Venice was the home of “Hoppy Land,” a kiddie amusement park themed and partially owned by William Boyd, who played Hopalong Cassidy…
Be that as it may – Waaay back a long long time ago, I somewhere glommed onto this old beat–up Charlie Weaver LP… can’t recall where it came from, maybe a yard sale… Anyway, after some decades, about the only track I could recall was “On The Boardwalk at Snyder’s Swamp” which you can listen to by clicking here… (I was amazed to find it on Youtube!)
Though even if you don’t, you can probably get the general tune from the patter…
It seemed a fun ditty for Katz and the Kid to sing, as they recite the joys of Venice Beach… Los Angeles’s low budget beach boardwalk… (while they do call it a “Boardwalk,” it’s actually asphalt…) and the “Merry Go ‘Round” would be the Carousel on the Santa Monica Pier, just to the north of Venice…
The kid’s asking for it! I think he’ll regret ever trusting B&K with his ices cart.
Nice outfit on Bunz in the last panel.
Ahhh… It’s the same outfit Bunz has been wearing for the previous couple of pages…
Bunz’ outfit was inspired by one worn by a contestant on Takeshi’s Castle… I thought she was probably cosplaying an Anime or game character, though I don’t know for sure – perhaps someone might recognize her costume an’ let me know…
In any case, I modified and simplified the design so that it wouldn’t be an exact copy – but as Bunz has an Anime orientation, it seems to work that she’d wear something like this…
An’ a-one an’ a-two… Big finish, boys! Who says Vaudeville is dead?
♬ Puttin’ on the Ritz… ♬
Oh, wait.
For whatever it’s worth, we posted the October Calendar last Thursday…
I notice in the news today that a massive spill of toxins off Russia’s Far East coastline has killed a lot of sea life and sickened surfers… can it be that this scow-load of Trumpian refuse is to blame? Certainly Russia does seem to be associated with a lot of the Trump’s toxic garbage… Maybe they allow him to dump his worst stuff there, until after the elections…
