Elmer the Elephant - John's New Coat

[@bwanadave76]

Growing up in "Chicagoland" in the 50s! Elmer had the best cartoons - Out of the Inkwell, Silly Symphonies, etc. John Conrad was the Best.

I saw John & Elmer live in Chicago's Thanksgiving weekend parade.

A Chicago classic

As a child many years ago, I loved to watch this show. Didn't Elmer have a girl friend called Elmira? Seems I got a postcard with Elmer and Elmira on it from the show. I was always wanting to write to Elmer and get a picture. Long time ago, but still remember fond memories of that show.

I still have his autograph...John's, not Elmer's.

This and other Elmer the Elephant postings on ToonORama are taken from video transfers of 16mm prints from the collection of the late John Conrad. Prior to his death last year, Mr. Conrad was kind enough to furnish us with copies and granted us permission to post them on KZbin, although we didn't get around to doing it until now.
