If There’s a Blackout, Blame FitzRoy for Pulling the Plug

April 9, 2013 by WendyB

I’ve already posted these pictures on a couple of my social-media outlets, but they’re so good I have to share them again here.  Gorgeous blogger/designer/stylist Stacy Lomman took this picture of FitzRoy the cat.

I immediately saw a similarity to one of the best characters in one of the best movies of all time … of ALL TIME!: Johnny in Airplane!

Johnny was played by the late Stephen Stucker. Click for more information.

Seriously, LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER.

Funny or Die has a montage of all of Johnny’s best moments. That little leap he does at about 1:32? I still do that every once in a while when walking past MrB at home.

    Thanks for the memories! I saw “Airplane” when it first came out, uncontrollable laughter for the whole film. And yes, there is a strong resemblance FitzRoy and Johnny.
    Oh and my anti-spam word was”booze” – who knew it was personalised?

      Same here, when the film first came out, and it’s still just as funny to me.

      Drink up!

    oh I didn’t know Johnny was dead! So sad, what a classic comic actor. Careful there, little Fitz!

      Thanks for taking the photo! (Right now, Fitz is sitting on my suitcase, looking like the African lion.)
