The face being covered up is not at all like Tony Orlando. (I think that's Tony Orlando right above smiley lady with a perm.) The face that I called Geraldo Rivera is only partly obscured by the Phantom. There's another guy who is completely covered by the Phantom. He's blond or blondish, with short hair, wearing a green tie. I hope you'll forgive my fallibility, Hoozh. In carrying the picture from memory to a larger version, I thought it was Orlando who was missing (maybe wishful thinking.) According to www.glitterrock.org/mc0423.html, which reprints the code form the original, the guy sitting next to Jenette Kahn (replaced by the Phantom) is Ron Howard (!) (?). I don't see it myself, but maybe he still had hair then. The guy next to him isn't identified, but to me he looks like Leroy Nieman. Please accept my apologies. Thanks for the info, Prince Hal. Apology unnecessary but accepted anyway. So smiley lady with a perm is Jeanette Kahn. I thought she looked familiar! I probably should have known. And Geraldo Rivera is Leroy Nieman, who I'm not familiar with but I'm assuming he has something to do with Nieman Marcus. And the European editions covered up Ron Howard because Andy Taylor is the Devil and Opie is the son of Satan! |

Oh, I thought you were annoyed with me.  Anyway, this Nieman:  Famous back in the day for his sports paintings in particular. Like this:  Also cartoons for Playboy. And for being a celebrity. Some thought he was, in a curt phrase, "All frosting, no cake." I was not a fan. |

I remember Niemen as a celebrity painter and he would be sitting ringside at many major televised boxing matches, especially Muhammad Ali's, drawing sketches while the fight woulfd go on. He would always be introduced by Howard Cosell along with the other notables in the audience, in the pre-game banter. He would do the same at World Series and the Olympics

So absolutely nothing to do with Niemann Marcus. Oops!
And despite all these prompts, I am still pretty sure I've never heard of him. Thanks for the info on Leroy Nieman everybody!

Here's a cover I've been considering submitting for a few days now. It's listed in Comicvine, but if it's ineligible, just let me know--I have some back ups.  It's eligible. It was a graphic novel published in 2000, based on the SNL sketch. |

Behold! A fresh entry!
I'm hoping that's George Washington and not some random 18th-Century fop or imposter. I haven't read Hit Comics 44 and I have no idea what "trips up the shoe" means, but it's probably drugs I guess. They're standing on a cloud, after all. |

Using his ability to summon historical or mythological figures, Kid Eternity brings forth a majestic 8 ft. tall George Washington. Unfortunately, the bizarre “Kid Eternity trips up the Shoe” blurb diffuses some of the scene's glory. (“The Shoe” was apparently one of the Kid’s villains)." Or so says comiccoverage.typepad.com/comic_coverage/2006/11/cover_to_cover__1.htmlThe Shoe, I guess was an arch-villain, and a real heel without a soul. |

Say, that's some impeccably detailed research in response to a glib, off-hand comment. And a side order of puns, to boot! I'd better not see this on my bill, Hal. It was a casual remark; not a request for archaeology.  |

Sounds like he could have been one of the bad guys who battled the AAU Shuperstar in those comic book ads from the 70s. Anyone remember these? Not an entry (in case it needed to be said)

Interesting ads. I never saw them before, is the artist Rich Buckler ?

No cartoons at all, in fact, which means no Gahan Wilson. Now, I can probably adjust to a Playboy without nipples, but no Gahan Wilson is just wrong. |
