Corky in Trouble

In the first few months of working at Calvinistic Cartoons, Corky would sometimes fall down and have to wait for some kind person or persons to help him back to his feet. This photo shows a man and his son about to help Corky back up. Corky spent many a day with Sheriff Andy Taylor and Opie before setting off to another time period.
btw...it was Barney Fife who won the $7,000 from Corky. With the money, Barney bought Thelma Lou an engagement ring.

  1. Sheriff Taylor even provided accomodations for Corky at the station. One night a week he had to share his "room" with Otis, but Corky didn't mind. He was glad for the witnessing opportunity.

  2. Good thing he didn't fall down in someplace like “Hollywood.” Where some deranged former child T.V. star, like “Ron Howard,” would have kicked the “grenade” right off him. Nope, not good ol’ Opie though. Now that’s a boy with genuine character…uh, (cough).

  3. Brian, it just goes to show ya that sometimes one thinks he is raising an Abel and he turns out raising Cain!

  4. That's a sobering truth. I hope you're not speaking from experience...wait a second, that wasn't you in the The Courtship of Eddie's Father (film)? Never mind, that was "Ronny" Howard.
