Soupy Sales, White Fang, Black Tooth, and Marilyn Monwolf!

Shirl Kenedy writes, "I've always wondered if this story about Soupy Sales was truth or urban legend:

"Soupy was showing flash cards with letters of the alphabet on them to White Fang, who was naming the letters.
Soupy shows the letter O.
White Fang: O
Soupy shows the letter B.
White Fang: B
Soupy shows the letter F.
White Fang: K
Soupy wrinkles brow, turns card around and takes a second look at the letter F, then shows card to White Fang again.
White Fang: K
Soupy starts waving the card at White Fang and says, 'What's going on here? I show you F. You see K.'"


I just ordered his Repise Records Collection on Amazon.com
I had forgotten all about him until someone mentioned him tonite at another thread. I LOVED White Fang and Hippy the Hippo. I wonder if that is where the 60s teens got "Hip" and later "Hippy?"

1. I can remember Soupy Sales!

I looked for old tapes at Blockbuster and could find none.
I think I might have had to watch him on the Baltimore channels when I lived in the DC area....can't quite remember.

Were hurled at every guest on the Soupy Sales show. Even Frank Sinatra got pasted with one and his toupee came loose!!
