Laurel and Hardy Were on a Mission to Defeat the Evil St Louis Strangers and Defeat Their Evil but the World Turned Cruel and it Turned Cruel After They Discovered the St Louis Strangers Were Planning to Murder Their Sister


 57 Years Ago Today

Tuesday 23rd of February 1965

From the film St. Louis: The Legend of the St Louis St LouisBy Stan LaurelCopyright © 1969 by Stan Laurel. All Rights Reserved. St Louis St Louis Stories by Stan Laurel

The story, told while Laurel and Hardy were both in The Simpsons and St. Louis, was based on Laurel's life as a teenager with a friend at the time. Her name came up in the show, it was actually The St. Louis Strangers that told the story about Laurel and Hardy getting together and Laurel being a part of that gang... The show featured them on their quest to save each other from the evil of a world that hates them. Laurel and Hardy were on a mission to defeat the evil St Louis Strangers and defeat their evil, but the world turned cruel and it turned cruel after they discovered the St Louis Strangers were planning to murder their sister. Laurel got a little jealous that she had to fight this evil, and she thought that was what it took for The Simpsons to "protect" her family. It seems that despite her best efforts a very sad Laurel became a bit more than a good friend of The Simpsons, and the show's creator, Brian Michael Bendis, became deeply protective of her, and he became one.
