SILLY Walks

I could have gone the "legit" way with this week's Sepia Saturday prompt and shown some of my snapshots of people walking down the street taken by those pesky photographers who leapt out and shot them. I chose a different route.

Meet my fifty cent wonder. Yes, I paid a whopping fifty cents for this tiny wonder; and it is tiny. What we have is most likely an arcade photo that this fellow paid perhaps a penny for back around the turn of the 20th century. Some cheap laughs he could keep in his wallet.

Scripts were written, casting was done, and a pilot episode was made. Alas, it was determined that perhaps it was an unwise decision. The mucky-mucks at Lionsgate refused to air the pilot. In fact they asked that it be destroyed. Ahhhh, but one single image exists to prove that it did happen.

I'll let you decide if not going forward was a wise decision.
