Lawrence Mugs
Description: Many a young baby boomer and generation x-er slouched on the davenport with their parents and/or grandparents to watch the polyester champagne musical cheesefest that was the Lawrence Welk show. If you have a soft spot for this era, like I do, you should buy a T-shirt for your elderly mother.
Description: The Lawrence Welk Show is an American televised musical variety show hosted by big band leader Lawrence Welk. The series aired locally in Los Angeles for four years, from 1951 to 1955, then nationally for another 16 years on ABC from 1955 to 1971, followed by 11 years in first-run syndication from 1971 to 1982. Repeat episodes are broadcast in the United States by Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations. These airings incorporate an original program—usually, a color broadcast from 1965 to 1982—in its entirety. In place of the commercials, newer performance and interview clips from the original stars and/or a family member of the performers are included; these clips are occasionally updated.
Description: Not really a monster or a maniacs I guess, but at the time, Johnny Lawrence from "The Karate Kid" was at least a certified jerkwad. But hey, everyone gets another run, and Johnny now is more hero than anything else. And William Zabka is a super good guy, so basically this is an excuse to draw him and one of my favorite '80s movie characters.
