The Adventures of Mr. Schneider: Issue #17
Mr. Schneider is the dummy that lives with the Monkees in their swingin’ ’60s pad. While the TV show documented the adventures of Mike, Micky, Peter, and Davy, did anyone ever wonder what Mr. Schneider might’ve gotten up to while the boys were out and about? “The Adventures of Mr. Schneider” at long last reveals the ginger dummy’s secret life.
Mr. Schneider kicks off the New Year with those sulky sultans of psychedelia, the Doors. Here, he tries on Jim Morrison’s luxurious crop of bacchanalian curls and poses with Ray, Robby, and John on the cover of the band’s self-titled album. Maybe Mr. S can cheer these serious guys up — c’mon fellas, smile! It’s an album cover, not a Civil War reenactment!
