Say "Martin & Lewis." They'll say, "A phenomenon!" Say "Rowman & Martin." They'll say, "Laugh In!" Say "Tick & Tinn." They'll say, "You mean the tailors?" Finally, Josh Hickman bravely attempts to right a tragic comedic travesty which has persisted in the annals of entertainment for decades longer than it should have. Unmercifully digging through personal interviews, yellowed press clippings, grainy videotapes, scratchy kinescopes, scratchier comedy albums, and reams of questionable anecdotes, Mr. Hickman has managed to do the unthinkable--to piece together the most coherent portrait possible of the life of one of the last great comedy teams of the era.Through rifts, marriages, divorces, and an infamous accusation of joke-theft, Jerry Tick and Larry Tinn persevered undaunted, spreading laughter through memorable challenges such as the "Pope Lick Monster" controversy, Jerry's comedy cult involvement, and facing live on television Hobarth Getz, "The Man Who Couldn't Laugh."
