Originator of the Velvet Underground, then house band of Andy Warhol’s Factory.
.
This song touches on things nobody talked about back then on records… Holly “shaved her legs and then he was a she” among the more printable.
The people he mentions are Warhol stars… Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling…. Joe is probably Joe Dallesandro.
Even the actors, including Leo Carrillo himself, made fun of his exaggerated (and fake) “Mexican” accent as Pancho.
Duncan Renaldo said they all liked to imitate it, till everybody on set was speaking that way, off-camera.
A native Californian from a well-educated, prominent Mexican-American family that included police chiefs,mayors and I think a governor, Carrillo spoke perfect English. He was a conservationist and later a California Parks Commissioner, who even has a state park named after him.
But as an actor, he made a career, even before Cisco Kid, of using that phony accent, along with deliberate malapropisms, for comic effect.
It’s only 61 minutes and 31 seconds.
The opening credits list the future lone ranger, Clayton Moore; there are no end credits shown, so I don’t have a character for him.
It’s probably supposed to be a cigarette, but it looks more like a bundle of something… maybe even a little person with wild black hair… rolled in a blue blanket or wrapper.
Or maybe it’s me.

I did a quick Google of the image, hoping to see a comment, but I didn’t even find the artist’s name.
The image was on pages with names like “simple art to copy”, which I thought was weird cos I don’t think it’s simple at all.
This is an artwork that carries the brand name: YAZHULUCK (based in China?)..
The brand’s owners bought ad space on Amazon, SEE LINK. (WHERE THIS PICTURE IS FLIPPED). The brand strikes me as either the art equivalent of a vanity press at best or puppy mill at worst. The last paragraph in its “Product description” (at the bottom) is what gives me reason for my impression.
….too long for the general board: / Janet Evanovich / Lisa Scottoline / and another Under the Influence episode about church signs you and others there may find interesting..
I’ve recently read “Going Rogue,” the 29th in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich; she’s one of my favourites too. She’s maintained the quality of the writing throughout the whole series (although if you go back to the early books, it’s like going back to the first Garfield cartoon today; the characters have evolved).
Have you ever read Lisa Scottoline (when I first started reading her I pronounced her last name scott-o-line as in “Wichita Lineman” / then a while back I found out “-line” rhymes with the “-ini” part of bikini)?
She is another author I really like. She has16 well written stand-alone novels to her credit, and her (for the sake of simplicity) Bennie Rosato / Mary DiNunzio series (the characters intertwine) about a female law firm in Philadelphia are really well written too; if you don’t read her already, I recommend her to both you and JanLC (even the series books can be read for the current story alone).
On a different subject entirely:
Several at “B. y E.” attend church on a regular basis, and this week’s “Under The Influence” C.B.C. radio show is about the signs you see outside of churches.
The introduction effectively uses a brief history of The Five Man Electrical Band and its song “Signs” as a lead-in to the topic. The rest of the show is devoted to the marketing strategies behind the church signs we see today.
The “raw” U.R.L. to the episode is below. It is an entertaining 27 minutes and 26 seconds, and again, I recommend this particular episode and the show in general.
Last week’s show informs the listener that “Marlborough” cigarettes were originally advertised strictly to women; going so far as to have pink filters to mask lipstick smears (easily gotten to by using the labels at the U.R.L. below).
And last, but not least, please remind JanLC of something she probably already knows: ginger ale tastes like ginger ale tastes like ginger ale no matter how sick you are (sugar and water / energy and hydration).
I took your suggestion and posted my comment to you here on GoComics. I forgot about the character limit on GoComics.
When I pasted my comment there it cut off the bottom portion.
So I did some editing, and posted my blitherings as two comments (added a direct plug for “Cleo and Company” too).
If you are still of a mind to do so please cut and paste my profile below at “B. y E.”
With any luck, everything should work out.
I have been a fan of Janet Evanovitch from the start. I grew up in Jersey, but not her part. But when she gets into plots on the boardwalk I can relate a little more. My wife buys me the latest Stephanie Plum novel every year for my birthday.
Oh yeah… Cleo. I came here to talk about “Cleo and Company“, not “The Cisco Kid.”
Your fault, Nighthawks, for distracting me.
….
One, two, three chances… and probably more, because we may be seeing only a sampling of Cleo’s trips back and forth…
that Claude and Clara have had, in just this one strip, to put the kibosh on their precious pet’s violent, destructive, murderous and possibly incendiary activity …
And do we see any action? Any attempts at restraint? Do we even hear a “No“?
We’re miles from a hearty “Confound it!”
The harshest criticism they can muster is an expression of mild concern.
…
We all love Cleo, but we know that if she ever gets her just desserts, she’ll end up in prison.
Clara and Claude will be crying on “60 Minutes”, sobbing that they just don’t know what went wrong.
Your handle brought to mind a science piece i read last week.
Some bright college kids decided to test if a Zebra’s stripes was meant to mess up a flies ability to see them. They painted a cow with stripes and counted the flies that landed on before and after painting. They decided that there were 50% fewer flies bothering the cow when she was painted with the stripes.
Gotta love college science geeks!

Dang, I missed a day and missed a lot of great music. Heart “Barracuda”, Lola, Janis “Summertime”, and Lou Reed “Walk on the Wild Side.” Damn, what a great set of music.
A true pioneer.
Originator of the Velvet Underground, then house band of Andy Warhol’s Factory.

This song touches on things nobody talked about back then on records… Holly “shaved her legs and then he was a she” among the more printable.
The people he mentions are Warhol stars… Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling…. Joe is probably Joe Dallesandro.
He’s kind of the father of punk.
Him and Iggy Pop, no doubt.
.
Jimmy Durante?
Where is his nose?
Maybe Montana Lady can see it.
under his ‘snout’?
nose?
Softest bart of any dog. Right behind the nose. 🙂
Seeing the video made me understand this song more deeply.
,,
oooooh, Pancho!
oooooh, Cisco!
Even the actors, including Leo Carrillo himself, made fun of his exaggerated (and fake) “Mexican” accent as Pancho.
Duncan Renaldo said they all liked to imitate it, till everybody on set was speaking that way, off-camera.

I like to think he wouldn’t do that today.
Here it is on YouTube.
It’s only 61 minutes and 31 seconds.
The opening credits list the future lone ranger, Clayton Moore; there are no end credits shown, so I don’t have a character for him.
Does anybody remember …
OK, but probably not this:
I remember the War song, never knew who this Cisco Kid was.
the ’46 Fords are in!
This is apparently the first Ford Dealership in America (1903-1967).
The Hughson Ford Dealership 1400 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California.
I couldn’t find a date for the photograph, but I’m going to say fall of 1945 because that would be the delivery time for the next year’s models.
Likely the ’40 models with a few trim changes.

What is that in her mouth?
It’s probably supposed to be a cigarette, but it looks more like a bundle of something… maybe even a little person with wild black hair… rolled in a blue blanket or wrapper.
Or maybe it’s me.

Acrobatic giraffes??!
One clinging to the rafters?
OK, now I know I’m seeing things.
This gif (pronounced “jiff” by the program’s late creator) isn’t even the best part.
Here’s the whole thing.
From “B. y E.”, Friday…..

“She was always <sniffle> such a good girl.”
ditto!!!
well said!!!
These are not going to be as crunchy as corn chips, but they do sound good.
Love Joplin!
