Santa and His Ward Heelers


A mug of warm nostalgia from the early days of Chicago children's teevee.

Of course, little did I realize as a wee driftglass that "Hardrock, Coco and Joe" was also being used to propagandize us future Chicago voters to accept the basic template of machine politics -- the benevolent bestower of gifts and his make-work goofs -- as a law of nature :-)

Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Drift. Spent every morning of my childhood with Brother Ray, Chelveston and Bug Bunny.
