You can't say I was cheap this Christmas. Here is a FINE gift from me to you- the actual sheet music for the unforgettable song Birthday Cake Polka. Sometimes called Put Another Candle On My Birthday Cake, this was sent to me by Sheriff John himself. Just print this out and whip out a copy when those goons at the Red Lobster try to sing some funky, generic dirge to celebrate your natal day- and DEMAND they sing this instead. 
Merry Christmas To All- And To All A Good Fright!
Here's my letter to Dear Abby. I figured that she would use my letter if I included a crappy pun at the end. Was I right?
Portrait of the Artist as a Purple People Reader.
Phil Proctor sent me some of the photos on this post. Here's a great sample of Nick Danger stationery. Why doesn't Hallmark carry this??
Here we are in the TV studio. Phil Proctor, Peter Bergman, Ron Petke, Glen Banks and the late John Craig (love ya, Johnnie Boy!)

This is an interesting curio for hardcore fans. This is the breakdown/guide sheet for the final Firesign radio broadcast at KPFK: The Martian Space Party. I picked this up after the show was over. It was the end of Dear Friends and the end of an era in radio comedy.
This is the front cover of the comic book that was handed to the kids after disembarking from the Luer Spaceship. The ship made an appearance at a local market and featured Engineer Bill with the Big Whistle, too! Inside the ship I can recall that we watched a beautifully animated film on a rear-projection screen located on a forward bulkhead. The film had a similar look to the artwork on the comic book cover. The seats would vibrate on landing and takeoff- it really was an embryonic version of Star Tours.
LOST IN SPACE!
Alas, we find the rusting hulk as it is today, alone in the desert.
Fire up those afterburners!
Here she is in her her heyday, the way I remember her. THIS is what a spaceship should look like!
Eat Or Be Eaten- the cult fave LP/CD from Firesign Theatre.
Look closely in the credits- Glen Banks (that's me) playing keyboard.
Did David get replaced by a sheep?
Here's me on the set of Eat Or Be Eaten. I played a Dendrolator in the film. My favorite memory was sitting around on this couch at 2 AM with the Firesign Theatre and the other castmembers- swapping scary ghost stories. I'm holding the legendary Book Of Me (written by Dr. Me) and you'll notice a menacing sprig of koodzoo vine lurking on the cushions. On the coffee table is the photo of the vine taken in 1936 when the plant went berserk and completely covered the town.
