The Adventures of Mr. Schneider: Issue #2
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 enjoyed his jaunt to England in the last issue so much, he decided to go back again. This week, he’s trying to give the Beatles a hand with during the photo shoot that would produce the infamous Yesterday and Today “butcher” cover. He tries to tone down the controversy by dressing the decapitated baby dolls in some sensible gray flannel suits — Schneider-style. Alas, this cover didn’t make the final cut, either.
