Klinger Tapestries
Description: "You're a tribute to man's endurance; a monument to hope in size 12 pumps. I hope you do get out someday; there would be a battalion of men in hoopskirts right behind you." - Major Sidney Freedman. Corporal (later Sergeant) Maxwell Q. Klinger is a character from the M*A*S*H television series who was an orderly/corpsman, and later company clerk, assigned to the 4077th during the Korean War. Klinger was the first main character in the TV series who did not appear in either the novel or the subsequent 1970 film. Originally introduced as a bit character, Klinger was so well-received, that he was brought back as a recurring character, and by the beginning of Season 4 he was included along with the regular cast in the opening credits.
Description: M*A*S*H (an acronym for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) is an American war comedy drama television series that aired on CBS from September 17, 1972, to February 28, 1983. It was developed by Larry Gelbart as the first original spin-off series adapted from the 1970 feature film M*A*S*H, which, in turn, was based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. The series, which was produced with 20th Century Fox Television for CBS, follows a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the "4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital" in Uijeongbu, South Korea, during the Korean War (1950–53).
