Hot Dog Magazine’s premier issue features Mork and Mindy on the cover. Although published by Scholastic in 1979, the skateboard that Pam Dawber is riding looks like mid 70’s to me. It’s almost like they put a wider board on those tiny trucks to help her stay on. Issue #1 doesn’t have hide nor hair of a skateboard within the meager 24 pages, although the issue I procured didn’t have the “Free Poster Inside,” so maybe it was a larger or alternate version of the cover. Can anyone confirm? I remember Hot DOg as a kid, but I don’t think it was ever a serious contender for the 800 pound gorilla of pre-teen magazines, Dynamite.

I once heard Jonathon Winters on the radio talking about his “Mork” days. He’d down about a 5th of scotch and Robin Williams was snorting who knows how much coke. He said it was hysterical.

Pam Dawber was hot!

Yeah, back in 1979 I would have been all “OMG Mork!” and now I’m entirely “ugh, Robin WIlliams not being Popeye” with a surprising large helping of “hey, I gotta find someone on YouTube who edits episodes of Mork & Mindy down to just the Pam Dawber parts.”

I liked Jonathon Winters playing as Mork’s baby.

Once “Mork”, always Mork. Funny how someone in ‘comedy’ played in such a piece of %^&^% f’ing film where he (per direction of the script/masters!!) dresses up like a woman….. in order to see HIS OWN KIDS. (FYI; Mrs. Doubtfire)
Burn Holywood Burn comes to mind… Even the ‘action heros’ killing thousands of ‘actors’ (PEOPLE) never made me so pissed as “Mork-fire”. Luckily, TV/movies/propaganda from ‘them’…… thing of the past and this is great example of “how come?”.
“They” crossed the line of ‘civility’ with that ‘program’.
I might have a party for Mork….. when he f’ing dies!!
