The C Gag

In today's JOHNSON FOLLIES we have a beautifully constructed gag around a timeless theme. Cancer!


But the laugh is on Greg since his nose is already disintegrating from a giant mass of cancerous tumors ha ha.


But he walks away like a badass anyway after dropping his truth bomb. Apparently no one has told him about his gross nose yet.

Meanwhile Mark is sitting about an inch-and-a-half away from the ol' DuMont--and for good reason, too, since TV back in those days needed to be hand-cranked if you wanted to see The Milton Berle Colgate Wife Repression Hour. And you needed to crank it HARD. Memories!

Next Week: More of Greg being a smirking jackass. Prescient!
