Boliver Shadnasty...

I believe this was a cartoon character of the 1950's or 1960's. I was digging thru upstairs in my shop when I came across a box that invited exploration. I found the little comment book we got our senior year of high school, that we had our schoolmates and teachers add comments to. One schoolmate, a boy, put a blurb on his page about Boliver Shadnasty. I do not remember this character at all, unusual for me. I don't know whether this was a comic book character or if it was an animated TV character. He was a "bad guy", apparently. The comment read: "Don't forget about our fun with Boliver Shadnasty, spelled with TWO nasties and his diabolical sidekick, J. Skulking Bushwhack". I have checked You Tube with no results, next up I reckon might be Mr. Google. I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had better memory than I do.....

Mr. Bing came thru. Boliver ShaGnasty was a character created by Red Skelton. I don't get the connection to J. Skulking Bushwhack. I wonder if this was yet a different character Kenny referred to for some reason. We watched Red Skelton like everyone else did, but I'll be switched if I remember this character.

J. Skulking Bushwhack is a character created for the Captain Kangaroo TV show. He was a sidekick of Badlands Meeney, a character of a feature of the show. He apparently has no connection to Boliver Shagnasty. I haven't talked to this schoolmate who wrote the quote I cited, have no idea how to contact him. Might be interesting to have a "memory refresh" on his comment and perhaps reconnect after almost 60 years. Kenny was from January to September older than me, so he would have turned 76 in January. I have no idea if he is still among the living.

Bolivar Shagnasty was one of Red Skelton's characters from TV and radio. There may be some clips of him doing Bolivar on youtube.
