We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
3 'Ernie Kovacs1 '
Percy is just one of the many satirical characters portrayed by Kovacs. There are others - "Pierre Ragout," par example, the French raconteur who delights in telling spicy but charming stories of his beloved Paris - tales with titles such as, "The Sewers in Spring. "
And there is "Uncle Gruesome," a kindly but misunderstood old gentlemen who reads fairy tales designed for morbid children.
Also, "Matzoh Hepplewhite, " a magician who lacks only skill and dexterity to put him on top. Matzoh enjoy3 the distinction of being the only magician who has been pulled out of a hat by a rabbit.
For the kids, primarily, but for everyone who likes adventure and raw courage, there will be an old puppet friend, "The Kapusta Kid."
Who can forget the adventures of "The Kapusta Kid" in outer space? "Practically anyone, that's who," said Kovacs, "and that's why we just might do a revised version of the old classic."
There will also be a regular animal act. The star will be "Howard, The Strongest Ant In The World,"
"It isn't really an animal act," Kovacs confesses, "since Howard is an insect. But he resents being called an insect and because of his great strength I would rather not cross him."
Howard has been groomed for TV ever since the death of "Frank, the World :s Only Left Handed Flea." Frank was slain in handto-hand combat with the Kovacs dog.
"He would never have been defeated," explains Ernie (who is
a storehouse of such information) "if the dog had not bitten Frank's
powerful left hand in the first few minutes of the scrap. After that,
poor Frank was practically defenseless."
