The Adventures of Mr. Schneider: Issue #31
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 jet sets back into the spy genre this week as a guest in the 1967 James Bond-spoof Casino Royale. Here he is as Peter Sellers, romancing Ursula Andress — or is Peter Sellers playing Mr. Schneider?? The man was a comedy chameleon, after all.
