"History Detectives" Show Looks at Comic Books *tonight*

[garthgantu]

Apologies if this is redundant - I didn't see another thread about this but maybe it's in the GA forum...?

 

The PBS series "History Detectives," which I've found generally pretty interesting and informative and not too smarmy and condescending in tone, is devoting about 15 minutes of tonight's episode to GA comics, specifically those featuring Pete Gray, the only one-armed player in major league history. Specifically, my lame little TV guide says "Comics depicting Pete Gray, who lost an arm in World War II, send them (meaning the show's pseudo-sleuth hosts) back to a time when celebrated artists moonlighted as cartoonists."

 

Might be worth a tape/TiVo... it's on at 9 p.m. out here on the Left Coast...
