Marty Feldman reincarnated?

GRAY SQUIRREL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 2, 2011

Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 ED (IF)
1/500 sec. f9.5
ISO 1600

Reviewing the backyard squirrel shots of the last couple of months yielded this almost overlooked frame that reminds me of Marty Feldman, the late British comic actor famous for his hyperthyroidic bug eyes (he was unforgettable as Igor in Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein").

Good one! Yeah, that looks like Feldman's eyes! I loved the goofy roles that Feldman played, including Igor (and any of the Mel Brooks' movies: Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, etc.)

Yep, I remember ... so funny! Feldman, Gene Wilder, Cloris Leachman, and Madeline Kahn! LOL!
