Comedy and laughter come to the rescue of two teen-age boys in a
background of 1942 Midwestern mediocrity. From the Depression into
World War II, they feel ignored by working mothers and an
indifferent, industrial Indianapolis. As buddies, they find
laughter and hope while enduring the problems of puberty, the
discovery of girls, learning life's lessons mostly from
light-hearted movies, vaudeville, and the comedies of network
radio. Their hilarious and naive efforts to become comedy stars
thrust them into early manhood, from high school to show biz. Their
story is humorous and touching, a roller coaster ride of
experiences, giving the reader a rib-tickling glimpse of their
hopes and dreams, struggles and setbacks, all in a warm tapestry of
fun and good feelings.
