LIBERACE SHOW
1952-1969 SYNDICATED
LIVER-ACHE
Riot #3, August 1954
w: Stan Lee
a: Howard Post
Famous piano player known for his, how shall I put this, flamboyance. He had mostly appearances and specials, but also an intermittent TV special so he could have control over it as he did his live performances. Even until the end his spokespeople denied his sexuality, when he died from AIDS they said it was from a watermelon diet. His chauffeur wrote a tell-all biography about him posthumously and a TV movie was made about it.
Gaydar only existed among gay men in the fifties, so he was a heart-throb to most of the world.
LIBERITCHY
Eh! #7, November-December 1954
artist and writer unknown
Fans of Bugs Bunny remember him imitating Liberace by looking into the camera and saying “If only my brother George was here!”
