Not much of a link, I know. But then again, it was written by Hal Roach, who 
produced 'Topper' (1937) 'Topper Takes a Trip' (1939)and 'Topper Returns' 
(1941) (referred to, wasn't it, in the previous chapter...?) >>

Is that the one where L&H are sharing the bed together, or, am I thinking
of The Stooges? Memory is fickle. Come to think about it, though, 
maybe The Stooges are like L&H without the excluded middle...?

I believe "Sailor Beware" was Ch. 27, and "Topper" -the t.v. character-
played by Leo G.  Carroll (who also played Alexander waverly) was Ch. 29.
