I recall you said that you met Doug in high school band. Was Doug playing trumpet then? What instrument did you play? Do you still play that instrument? Do you play other instruments?

I believe you once mentioned that the name of your show’s theme song was “Son of Svengoolie Theme”. Would you please tell us who wrote it? Also, it seems to me that over time, you have shortened the theme (and the video introduction sequence) by using several key changes in quick succession. Very catchy! Would you tell us a little about that? And by the way, is that Vincent Price’s laugh you slipped in there recently?

Character Development

I’ve heard you mention the influence of early radio and TV on your humor. How did you first discover that creating characters who love to annoy “Svengoolie” (Kerwyn and Tombstone are prime suspects) would be funny? Did you create characters for your own amusement in childhood?
