Borrowing Without Asking

by Tobias on February 23, 2010

For some reason, this video has played in my mind a few times lately in seemingly unrelated context.  If you did not grow up in the Bay Area, then it is likely you have not seen it.  If you did, and within the right time frame, then you most likely remember Charley and Humphrey.  They taught me lessons as a child I’ll never forget: Get lots of glue if you want to really get high after you steal something.

Their creator, Pat McCormick, was a staple for those who landed on KTVU in the 70s whether it be for Dialing for Dollars or Charley and Humphrey 1 minute interludes of puppeteiring and moral lessons.

Check out more videos of Charley and Humphrey here on YouTube.
