Shuster and Wayne… wait, no, that’s Wayne and Shuster, isn’t it?

Yeah it is. They were a Canadian comedy duo in WWII, two Toronto kids who got famous but chose to stay in Canada (Paul Gross-esque).

due South also loves to name locations after Toronto landmarks that don’t exist in Chicago, but then pretend they are Chicago things (see: Lakeshore, the Waverly, etc.)

So the Gladstone is real, and you can still stay or grab a drink there when you’re in Toronto!

I don't know how Tumblr doesn't know about Canadian comedy classic Rinse the Blood Off My Toga by Wayne and Shuster

I really should post this every March 15.

I am shaped by the CBC. It taught me things and made me laugh and I wish I had more than 9 squares. This election means more than tariffs.

Rinse the Blood off my Toga

My cousin (even older than I am!) reminded me of this bit, perfect for the Ides.

“Rinse the Blood Off My Toga” is a Julius Caesar parody that pokes fun at private detectives, Shakespeare, and Latin.

In honour of the Ides of March, here are highlights from a 1970s performance of arguably one of the most famous comedy sketches in Canadian history - Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster's "Rinse the Blood off My Toga" (this clip is from a tribute that aired after Johnny passed away).

Can I copy your homework?

This is an old post. I am not even reading Ollie's speech again.

(Legion of Superheroes in the 31st Century #13): A seemingly teenage Lex Luthor (idk, everyone in this comic looks teenage) already building the LexCorp Mech Suit. Impressive. Also love the Shuster Airfield thing - it's nice to see references to Superman's creators. Especially to Joe Shuster, the one co-creator who grew up in Toronto (and met Jerry Siegel when his family moved to Cleveland). Just nice to see references to him. Also interesting to see Lois Lane mentioning Batman already exists in this comic's universe. I don't think he ever shows up, though, so that's an interesting detail to just leave out in the open.
