A portrait of Harold Lloyd holding a bespectacled dog on his lap
Born on this day, 20th April 1893, we celebrate Slapstick Comedy legend and cheer Hooray for Harold Lloyd 🎊
Probably the only thing he loved more than a pratfall are some of his best friends throughout the years 🐶

I was there, and Ryland and co put on one hell of a show for us all. He even signed my Hundreds of Beavers Blu-ray.
Also I finally see a picture of a Megascreen audience that manages to get me in it! 😆

44 years ago today TISWAS ended. I had the opportunity to host TISWAS Reunited for @slapstickfest.bsky.social a few years ago. What a terrific evening. I met Spit the Dog, hugged Sally James. And I got flanned by the Phantom Flan Flinger who was later unmasked.
