Letterman

‘Stronger than silent e, able to leap capital T in a single bound’

Before David Letterman had a show, I used to watch Letterman.

Joan Rivers narrated the Letterman spots with Gene Wilder as the voice of the hero.

These shorts were from the original Electric Company (1972-77), which was the coolest childrens show ever. Even had Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Mel Brooks and Spider-man.

And
In an odd jump back to my childhood, Libby the Kid and The Electric Company ended up influencing some of the design stuff I’ve done for Normandie.
