The Adventures of Mr. Schneider: Issue #5
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 knows how to finagle invites to all the hottest parties of the season, so no wonder he managed lurch his way into the Rankin/Bass stop-motion puppet cult classic, Mad Monster Party. Here he is making the scene with Dracula, the Wolfman and… Phyllis Diller? Well, she was all over TV in the ’60s — Schneider-stein was bound to run into her sooner or later!
