I agree... plus, the photos I've seen of Burt and Malvin look like two different
people. You can see Mal on "Perfessor" Bill's site, while Burt (pictured in the

Eckstein, with a pencil mustache.

Burt Franklin rolls. I wish we knew more about him. I'm not convinced that he

I have heard sound nothing like Burt Franklin's rolls.
