In the latter half of World War II, the radio series, GI Journal, also appeared in newsreel form under the title, Strictly GI. It was a comedy variety show typical of radio's golden age, with Kay Kyser, Lucille Ball, Ish Kabibble, Jerry Colonna, and Mel Blanc in this installment. We've had an excerpt of Blanc bringing George Baker's comic book character, Sad Sack, to life, using his Porky Pig voice, or a variation thereof. Now, here's a longer video:
There's an even bigger video, which incorporates a pair of Private Snafu shorts starring Blanc, but that was something the NY State Museum archive put together.
Rating: B.
