Draw a Childhood Television Personality, Icon or Hero

I drew Captain Kangaroo for For Art Jumble's Week 10 because it was one of the first TV shows I remember.



Captain Kangaroo was a children's program which aired weekday mornings on CBS from 1955 until 1984, then moved to the American Program Service (now American Public Television, Boston) to air syndicated reruns of past episodes in 1992. The show was produced and the title character played by the late Bob Keeshan, who based the show on "the warm relationship between grandparents and children." Bob Keeshan was the original Clarabelle the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show.
