He passed on some thoughts to me a while back and I'm glad I have a place to share them.
Here, he writes about Ironized Yeast, the first sponsor of the show:
I was making a note about Ironized Yeast and abbreviated it “I.Y.” While collating my notes, it caught my eye and I said it aloud. It sounded funny, and it makes me wonder if Ironized Yeast had a part in the creation of Y.I.I.Y. Skeeber.Makes perfect sense to me. I can also add that Y.Y. Flirch had a brother named I.Y. Flirch. I'm not sure if he was only a character in the early days (when Ironized Yeast was the sponsor) or not. I'm not at all sure when I.Y. Flirch was on the show...
