First of all, I do have this amazing mind-reading machine, powered by a Tesla coil, left over from my Captain Video research. So it's no coinky-dink that you were thinking about a jungle board and one "suddenly" appeared.

I saw Nabonga on the old Matinee at the Bijou TV show years ago, and thought it was passable entertainment. So I obtained a VHS of the film and scheduled it for FNF. For several weeks, I put "NABONGA IS COMING!" and "WHAT IS NABONGA?" and "TERROR IS A THING CALLED... NABONGA!" teasers in the newsletter. I whipped the gang up into a frenzy of anticipation. Bad move. They nearly tore me apart when they actually got a view of this horrid, boring mess of a film. (I guess the edited version on M at the B was actually an improvement.)

Too bad, funny Ray "Crash" Corrigan just can't catch a break, it was all downhill after Undersea Kingdom.

Actually the Three Mesquiteers series was a step up for Corrigan. Republic placed more importance on their westerns than serials.

Can't dispute that. The grownups actually paid to see the westerns, but we kids would have gone to any western as long as there was a serial too. But then we would have gone to any movie, period. The studios had to be more careful with features, in other words, because the feature audience was somewhat more discriminating.

I plum forgot about that series, my apologies to the late Mr Corrigan.

Crash deserves more props for our current serial, Darkest Africa, too: he's not only the main Bat-Man (you can't miss that chin) but he doubled as Bonga, the almost-human ape. I am pretty sure they had Crash tie Baru's diaper each morning, too.
