January 8th, 2007 – Harpo Marx!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jan.09, 2007, under Celebrity Illustrations, What\'s New?
This week it’s from the humor side with Harpo Marx from my favorite comedy team – The Marx Brothers.
I’ve loved the Brothers since I first saw one of their films on Channel 9 in Orlando in the ’70s when I was small. I specifically remember watching Marx Brother marathons overnight after the start of the new year on Channel 9. That early appreciation of satire has me appreciating the sharp humor of Dorothy Parker, S.J. Perelman, George S. Kaufman today.
This year I was away for New Years Eve in Fort Lauderdale. When I returned to my hotel room I pulled from a DVD set I had brought with me and started my own Marx marathon by slipping ‘Go West’ in my portable computer.
