Ernie Over Easy, or Sunny Side Kovacs!

"Ernie's Journeys" was the first installment in what I envisioned a much larger series called 'Legendary Laughter'. It was to include additional chapters on the great comediennes and the great fat comics, and there were even monumental interviews I conducted live, most notably with the first child star of the silent comedies, Baby Peggy herself, Diane Serra Cary! She passed away, but the interview still exists — I may yet publish!

Well, I got three installments published. The first was my tribute to Ernie Kovacs, a book I'd wanted write for years when Hollywood maven Marilyn Slater (RIP) turned me on to Amazon Self-Publishing!

A bold collection of essays focused on early television's original comic genius, his experimental, uninhibited visual comedy influenced generations of future comedians and comedy programming years after his untimely death in 1962.

Intriguing chapters include a comparative look at Ernie and Buster Keaton, who incidentally co-starred with Ernie in an ill-fated pilot for a comedy western sitcom; and a rare look at Kovacs compared to fellow rebel icon, Lenny Bruce.

"Ernie's Journeys" is a splendid addition to other Kovacs biographies in the libraries of all Kovacs fans, and anyone who loves to laugh.
