The Legacy of Laughter
Comedy Sketch series

Illustrated by David Toyoshima

In our ongoing mission to bring joy and laughter to the elderly, Legacy of Laughter proudly presents David Toyoshima’s “Comedy Sketch” Series featuring some of history’s most beloved comedians from radio, stage and screen.

We invite you to guess who each comic is and the line or routine they were most famous for. It’s good exercise for your mind and will hopefully give you a healthy laugh or two.

As always, we thank Bernie (Bobo) and Rochelle (Roro) Meyers for leaving us a Legacy of Laughter to share in an all-too-serious world.

About the Artist

David Toyoshima grew up watching classic comedy TV—even when it was long past his bedtime. David and his parents—along with Buddy the beagle—were glued to shows like Ed Sullivan, Steve Allen and Johnny Carson. Along with hits of the 60s and reruns from the 50s.

Today, David is a professional illustrator, advertising art director, and graphic design professor at Cal State University, Long Beach. His illustration style is influenced by the great Jack Davis and Mort Drucker of TV Guide and Mad Magazine fame.

Toyoshima’s advice to his students and now to you is simple. “Whatever you do, try to have fun. And always try to create something that will make people smile.”
