Stormy’s Diary - July 2, 1950

Today I felt peppy.  I fought with Mother, Richard and Carol.  During Hopalong Cassidy I chewed on Richard’s socks.  Then I played with Carol.
- Stormy

These little references to TV shows like Hopalong Cassidy are truly my favorite parts of Stormy’s Diary.  It’s a little time capsule.  Also:  Stormy fought with MOTHER?  And he lived to tell the tale, good dog!

1. I keep looking for a reference to Sky King. Every kid his age watched Sky King! Humm, the entry is dated 1950. I don’t think Sky King appeared till 51. I could be wrong and it was 50 plus none of the dates are correct in these entries either. I’ll bet he was watching Sky along with Hopalong.

   Out of the blue of the western sky comes SKY KING!! *big airplane noise*

   Then the Nabisco cookie logo would zoom across the screen.

   Damn, ol’ Sky was cool. Never cared much for Hopalong though.
