The Adventures of Mark Twain

We had some weird Zappa claymation not too long ago. Now we get some based on the work of Mark Twain.

Disregard the label on the clip above. It's really an excerpt from this full-length film.

Part 1 of the whole film follows:

Who We Are

Yup! The old river-man didn't gaze well upon the church people.

BTW, I found a great site full of Clemons' quotes. They've even got them arranged by category! http://www.twainquotes.com

Trivia: The Public Library in Hannibal, Mo. once tried to ban Tom Sawyer and (IIRC) a couple other of his books! Go figure!

what a freaky show. i would not want to watch it all, it creeps me out. oh and, book ban/burning is not only a religious thing. communists and nazis, amoung others have used it extensively. but religion uses it too.
