Shortly after I arrived on the planet, a television series appeared featuring a comic book character who would grow to be my favorite of them all.
My first recollection of this TV series is actually the film that was based on the first season of the series. In the film, Batman and Robin have to deal with the likes of The Joker ( Caesar Romero ), The Riddler ( Frank Gorshin ), Catwoman ( Lee Meriwhether ), and The Penguin ( Burgess Meredith ).

In early 2012, I walked in the door of Krypton Comics in Omaha. I was unexpectedly greeted by Doctor San Guinary … a character originally from Omaha’s own Creature Feature TV show that graced the airwaves on channel 3 ( then an NBC affiliate ) in the 70’s.
He was there seeking blood donations for a bloodmobile drive.
The Cycling Tour is the eighth episode of the third season of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The Cycling Tour is unusual when compared against other episodes of the show as the entire show is dedicated to one long skit. Michael Palin portrays the central character of the show: a bicycle tourist named Mr. Pither.
Pither goes about his way on his bicycle repeatedly crashing and damaging his food supplies. As he talks to people he meets along the tour, he informs them that he is on a cycling tour of North Cornwall.
