[net.games.trivia] Gerald Mc Boing Boing

lew (01/17/83)

Gerald (not Jerry) Mc Boing Boing didn't turn into things, he imitated
their sounds with startling realism. I had a book about him when I was a
little kid (early fifties.) I believe it was a while before they made the
TV show but I may be wrong. In the book he was considered a pest because
of his talents and got thrown out of his house by his parents. Of course,
he managed to regain their good graces by some act of heroism, which I don't
remember. I only remember the picture of poor Gerald skulking out the
front door with his father sternly pointing the way. Heavy stuff.
