[edit] Images
I changed the image on the front page to one that seemed more fitting. Still, I like the original one and will preserve it here until someone comes up with a mor fun way to display it. --24.17.217.219 16:56, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Daryl Laub, and the timing of things
Googling around, I found some references saying that Daryl Laub created the J.P. Patches character and/or possibly played him for a few years before Chris Wedes did, possibly at WTCN-TV in the Twin Cities (today KARE). None of the dates and locations seem to mesh properly, though. It's somewhat unclear if both of the men worked in Minnesota as well as in Washington—Laub may have theoretically bounced from WTCN to KIRO and then back to MN to work at KSTP-TV in the space of a few years. Just a factoid to check on. —User:Mulad (talk) 07:17, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Alright, I found a decent page with info on this: http://www.tvparty.com/losttwin.html A few bits from this stuff is incorporated in the article now. —User:Mulad (talk) 00:52, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] I remember...
Watching JP Patches for years as a adolescent/pre-teen/teen. One was never too old to watch Julius Pierpont Patches. :) Such fond and wonderful memories! [-- 63.163.28.170 17:57, Nov 30, 2005 (UTC)]

Summary: + txt, cit, so cl, rephrased; see Talk.

"Patches Pals", "ICU2TV"
Lunch with Casey
Better, add sub-headings to this article : ) as long as the article isn't too big.
A References section, which contains only citations, helps readers to see at a glance the quality of the references used. (WP: Citing sources # "References" section in addition to "Notes")
See Talk:Seattle, Citing sources.
"External Links" -> "Further reading", per MoS. Further reading/external links.
"Retrieved [date]", since on-line reference links can break, (per Embedded links).

[edit] Accuracy
+ from http://www.olyblog.net/evergroove37 (is there a more formal source, verifiable author and story?), per What sources to cite
Do any previous contributors have sources? --Re. Matt Groening?{{Citation needed}} Why. (Not internal : )
(Krusty the Clown seems rather too cynical and jaded for J. P. to've been anything but an antithesis. By today's (Krusty's) standards, J.P.'s girlfriend was a clown butch drag queen : )
'Put 'em in, or here in Talk, someone will format if you d'ruther not.
"Mayor of the City Dump" link should be renamed Union Bay Natural Area, where the real City Dump was actually located, 1926-1966.
With accuracy a Wikipedia goal, the purported fiction of J. P. is by this article put to rest.
