[Me Chicken Man, You have wampum?] I had access to a record with several the episodes on it from one of the local radio stations. They were the one where he gets on board a flying saucer and makes a nergus glompum call to Lady Bird Johnson (Your coins are a lot like ours except that they say E Pluribus Glompum on them.) Another episode was when he gets kidnapped to Gary (Indiana? So that's where Gary is) and a Royal Canadian Mounty brings him his lunch. I loved 'em. -Ron

Do you remember the "Chicken Man" radio series of the late-sixties
early-seventies, a thinly-veiled parody of the "Batman" genre? I
don't remember too much about it, except that I think it was produced
in Chicago and ended up, at least, in San Francisco on KSFO's comedy
hour in the early/mid-seventies, and that it was very funny.
(And of course the hero was a crime-fighter dressed in a chicken
costume ...).
Some members of the cast are now doing radio commercials
(those particularly witty ones), including for radio advertising
itself, the SF Chronicle, the SF Giants (I think -- is that them
doing the `Crazy Crab' mascot commercial?), though I don't think
the are exclusively local ...
I am looking for any tapes of the series that you might know of
or where I can get such tapes.
