Well, well, well…. Doctor Lyle Evans is apparently too tough a nut to crack for all the so called experts on the web. In Mad Man episode “The Chrysanthemum and the Sword” Partner and general Ass Hole Roger Sterling walks in on a meeting the other boys are having with Honday Motorcycles. After a few silly remarks about dropping the big one and saying “unconditional” a few times the Japanese leave. Shortly after Roger suggests that they might as well call in “Doctor Lyle Evans”. No explanation is offered and some at least of the others express a lack of knowlege about “Doctor Lyle Evans”. The following day the web universe — yes all four of the drooling idiots — decided that “Doctor Lyle Evans” did not exist. Well, I, at least don’t know how to put the silly name in my metadata and get wondering eyes to Moronpolitics.
So I can only type Doctor Lyle Evans over and over here. Oh well. He is a character in “The Hucksters”. Although the character is listed as Evan Llewellyn Evans. Well, I guess he WOULD go by “Lyle” given a choice of being Evans Evans or Llewellyn. The movie is, of course, about advertising. It came out in 1947 so Roger would have seen it, the young kid that brought in the Japs would NOT have… Hence his confusion.
Nobody reads this blog so still NOBODY knows. Oh, well. That’s life.
