This large (9½ x 13), single-fold postcard was probably sent to viewers in 1948, shortly after the show went on the air and before it was renamed Kukla, Fran and Ollie.  Perhaps it was an attempt to determine viewership and to build a mailing list.  The art is by Dick Snyder.


 

These cards were sent to viewers in the early 50s to announce changes in KFO's schedule, and to publicize their radio show.  The first four were hand-lettered and drawn by Burr, to give the feeling of personal notes from Kukla.  Click on the cards below to hear excerpts from the first KFO radio show: October 13, 1952.    (You can buy two KFO radio shows from Radio Memories.)
