If you want to have a piece of Al's PAST and present, here are three great items...his book, a campaign TEAM FRANKEN T-Shirt (check back for pictures) and a mug!
The book is: I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me! ... by Stuart Smalley, Al Franken
The copy is in lightly read condition with just a little wear to the edges of the covers and is a 1st Edition copy!
PLUS.... A VERY RARE MUG with his Saturday Night Live character of Stuart Smalley back in 1980's.
The mug is in VERY good condition--doesn't look like it has been used much-- if ever! No spoon marks, no fading of the graphics. Different quotes from Stewart on either side of the mug and the Saturday Night Live logo on the bottom of the mug.
On one side of the mug it reads: I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me.
On the other side of the mug it reads: REMEMBER only you can help you.
And so you know... Stuart Smalley is a fictional character invented and performed by Al Franken. The character originated on the television show Saturday Night Live, in a mock self-help show called "Daily Affirmations With Stuart Smalley."
The character was a spoof on individuals who are obsessed with twelve-step programs and become addicted to the actual act of going to therapy for addiction. Stuart is a member of many (sometimes fictional) twelve-step groups, including Overeaters Anonymous, Children of Alcoholic Parents Anonymous, and Children of Rageaholic Parents Anonymous. He is an effeminate man with a perfectly coiffed bleached-blond hairdo, who regularly wears a yellow button down shirt with a powder blue cardigan.
ADDED BONUS a TEAM FRANKEN T-Shirt from his Senate campaign.
Don't mind if this mug stays in my collection...hence the high price......but if you REALLY REALLY want it, please make me an OFFER!
