  On Wednesday's show: A new agreement is in place that will allow the rebuild and expansion of I-45 to move forward, nearly two years after the plan was paused following concerns from numerous stakeholders. We learn what the agreement entails and what concerns remain. Also this hour: We discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup. Then: How blunt should doctors and patients be with one another when it comes to nutrition and obesity? And what can be done to improve the communication between doctors and patients on these health matters? And the Oscars are Sunday night, but we reflect on a movie that never got made. It was called Giraffes on Horseback Salad, and the screenplay was the product of an unusual collaboration between comedian Harpo Marx and surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. While it never made it to the big screen, Houston native Josh Frank made it into a graphic novel by the same name. We revisit our 2019 conversation with Frank.

Das wäre was geworden: Die fantastischen Komiker und der legendäre Künstler machen einen Liebesfilm. In der Hauptrolle: Die "surrealistische Frau", die man immer nur von hinten sieht. Immerhin brennt das Meer. Und die Giraffe.

On this episode, Paul delves into the archives to bring you a chat with writer Josh Frank and briefly, with artist Manuela Pertega about their riotously funny graphic novel, Giraffes on Horseback Salad, published by Quirk Books. This book, based on an unmade screenplay written for the Marx Brothers by none other than surrealist Salvador Dali and adapted by Josh with Tim Heidecker offers a unique chance to see something that could have been. A film that will never be made, brought to life via the medium of comics. Due to a language barrier, we only had the chance to ask Manuela one question, but we hope you enjoy hearing from her nonetheless.

I caught author & pop culture archeologist Josh Frank in the midst of touring for his great new book Giraffes on Horseback Salad, a graphic novel that bills itself as the legendary unmade film collaboration between real-life friends and absurdist kindred spirits Salvador Dalí and Harpo Marx. Josh gives the fascinating background to how the project — his fourth in a series of ‘lost histories’ (the second of which was coauthored by yours truly) — came to be, and many times almost didn’t. He gets into his lifelong obsession with lost layers of pop-culture history and the intense ups, downs, and general non-linearity of life as a working, wandering artist.

Even some of the most devoted of Marx Brothers fans don’t know about this project: a wild, fantastical movie script that Surrealist artist Salvador Dali wrote for the comedy icons, after forging a fast friendship with the most beloved of the Marxes, Harpo. The movie was called Giraffes on Horseback Salad, and not only was it too over the top to get made, the film script was also lost to history. Until now. Pop culture archaeologist, and lifelong Marx Brothers fan, Josh Frank, spent six years piecing the storyline together from copious amounts of research and contact with both the Dali and Marx camps. Now he’s turned it into a new book – also called Giraffes on Horseback Salad – that unfolds the story behind the story and presents the script as a gorgeous graphic novel. We talk to Harris about his must-read new passion project on this week’s Pop Literacy. For more information on Harris and his book, and to catch one of his Giraffes on Horseback Salad live presentations, check him out on Facebook.

My guest on today’s show undertook the enormous task of writing a graphic novel version of the strangest movie never made.  Writer Josh Frank presents the all signing, all talking Giraffes on Horseback Salad, a graphic novel published by Quirk Books, which is based on the undeveloped screenplay by Salvador Dali for The Marx Brothers.  It is the fantastical tale of a businessman named Jimmy who finds himself drawn to the mysterious Surrealistic Woman, a figure whose very presence can transform reality. With the help of The Marx Brothers, Jimmy tries to join her strange world, but the forces of normalcy seek to end their romance.  The book is a must-read for fans of Salvador Dali or The Marx Brothers or both. The author Josh Frank is a life-long fan of The Marx Brothers and did extensive research for the book, including having Dali’s hand written script and film treatment translated. Where additional Marx Brothers gags were needed to complete Dali’s unfinished script, Josh enlisted the talent of Tim Heidecker of the Tim and Eric Show. Spanish artist Manuela Pertega provided the surrealistic illustrations for the graphic novel. Josh discusses how he became interested in little unknown pop culture history, which ultimately led to his crowning achievement to date, Giraffes on Horseback Salad. How have The Marx Brothers comic genius and sense of anarchy influenced later comedy filmmakers? How did Harpo Marx and Salvador Dali strike a friendship?  Where was Salvador Dali in his life at the time he and Harpo made the film pitch to MGM?  And how did Dali’s current outlook influence the obstacles Jimmy was so desperate to over come in the screenplay? How does Josh’s day, or rather night job, dovetail with his passion for classic films?  Which of The Marx Brothers’ films is Josh’s personal favorite, and which is the most underrated? And how the heck does Zeppo figure into all of it? All this and more in my Kicking Back With The Creator segment!   Please take a moment to rate Creator Talks on iTunes More about The Creator  About the book Giraffes on Horseback Salad This episode is sponsored The Comic Book Shop, where comics as for everyone

Chandler was not able to join us, but is there in spirit.
