Say, Kids! What Time Is It?

Happy birthday to the late Marlene Dietrich, who was born on this day in 1901. Ms. Barch's alter ego on the right is of the actress/singer, but I don't think she can pull off the look nearly as well as Dietrich did.

Today is also the anniversary of the 1947 debut of Howdy Doody, beloved children's show icon and oddly similar in appearance to Upchuck--or so Andrea thinks in "Fair Enough."
