Lochinvar Planes Out of the West

English · Dramatic Readings, Children's Fiction, Humor

Skippy Hollywood Theatre presents a radio dramatization of Skippy, the comic strip created by Percy Crosby. The stories center on Skippy Skinner, a lively boy whose imagination and mischief shape his adventures with friends and family.

In this broadcast, titled “Lochinvar Planes Out of the West,” the program brings the comic-strip world to radio through acted dialogue and sound. The episode title suggests a playful western-flavored adventure, while the series’ focus on a boy’s everyday escapades gives the show its youthful, lighthearted character.

The result is a family-friendly comedy-drama built around childhood schemes and spirited personalities. Its appeal lies in hearing a familiar newspaper-strip character take on a new life in performance, with the warmth and humor of a classic radio story.
