12/25 BONUS: COUNT FLOYD EXTENDED SCENE


NOTES: This is an extended take for the King of Cartoons/Count Floyd scene that I came up with well after everything had wrapped and the relevant scene went online. It's a riff on a similar scene from one of the last few episodes of Playhouse, in which Pee-Wee encounters an adult party line on the Picturephone. Here, it's a commercial for a 1-900 number featuring the main character from two comic strips: Larry Whittington's Fritzi Ritz and Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy. 

It came about from, once again, Facebook--I am a member of a fan page dedicated to distorting and riffing on the Nancy comics. I was awake one night and the thought occurred to me: "Wouldn't it be funny if Pee-Wee stumbled upon a Christmas-themed adult party line with Fritzi talking directly to the viewer?"
