Zippy
was "discovered" by Bob Smith, "Buffalo
Bob" of the long running and famous "Howdy
Doody Show" while on vacation in New Orleans.
Zippy stole a cherry out of Bob's drink and was
rewarded with a five year contract.
I,
Carole Womack, came to work with Zippy in
1955. I worked, trained and performed with Zippy
for three years and then married Zippy's daddy,
Lee. I was Lee's third wife. This lasted for twenty
three years until I left and began training and
performing with exotic birds. (This may be another
book!)
The
story of how I met Zippy, and all the wonderful,
totally unusual and exciting stories involving
Zippy have been kept a secret for far too long.
Because Zippy was dressed and treated as a child,
his freedom from restraint lended itself to numerous,
unusal, fascinating adventures which you will thoroughly
enjoy. Now the untold stories are in print! How
I met Zippy and the other unusual and entertaining
adventures are dispayed and accompanied by 52
photos. Place your order now!
As
Ed Sullivan used to say, "We have a really
big shooow and to open the shoooow, here is Zippy
The TV Chimp"!
We are looking forward to writing a second book including true stories submitted
by those who have had an experience with Zippy. These stories are to be positive,
hopefully funny or elating. These memoirs are to be "G" rated, typed
and two pages or less, and must be true!
Our
third book will be about "Alfie Cockatoo and
His Fun-Lovin' Macaws, our newest yet 23 year venture.
It will contain wonderful stories about their stage
show adventures, home life and fun. It will also
include tips on training, feeding and caring for
these beautiful exotic creatures. Numerous pictures
and write ups will be included.

TV Chimp please contact us by e-mail. Briefly describe
