Wanna Be a Cartoonist? Wanna Live in NYC?

From the 1967-68 series HE AND SHE, comes this weathered promo.



Real life husband and wife Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss played Dick & Paula Hollister. Dick was a cartoonist, whose successful comic strip "Jet-man," had been made into a successful TV show. Jack Cassidy co-starred as the uber-egotistical star of the "Jet-man" show.

The first episode, The Old Man and the She (airdate 9/6/1967), is below, chopped up into YouTube bits

HE AND SHE Part 3

The series ran one year and is well remembered. Being a cartoonist who lived in NYC in my 20s -- I gotta say this show is all wrong, but a lot of fun.
