Sunday Funnies: Topo Gigio's Christmas List (The Ed Sullivan Show, 1969)

 As a child, I'd seen a smattering of The Ed Sullivan Show, but I can't say for sure if my folks actually were interested in it on a regular basis.

In 1963, the Italian puppet, Topo Gigio, made his American debut, and would make regular appearances on the show until it was cancelled in 1971. Since then, Topo has starred in a Japanese anime which ran for 2 seasons (1988-90), and also appeared in some movies in his native Italy.

From 1969, Topo shows Ed his Christmas list.


Topo at Christmas was an annual attraction, so we've got more coming up.
