Pipe-Smoking Television Man

Pipe-Smoking Television Man
An undated red-border Kodachrome slide (probably late 1950s).

This pipe-smoking fellow reminds me of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs of Church of the SubGenius fame.

In another slide (see The Silence in the Room Was Deafening, below), this same man is holding his pipe as he sits in a chair. A third slide (see Birds at Home, below) shows the same room from a different angle (compare the lamp, table, and floral-print chair).

Time for Uncle Miltie! The colors are just spectacular in these slides. Reminds me how nice the cabinetry was on the early t.v.s, designed to hide the gray screen, which must have been considered unsightly when not in use.

Thanks, it is amazing how well the colors have held up in some of these slides. And you certainly don't see TVs in nice wooden cabinets like that anymore!
