I'm from the Detroit area and was a child fan of Soupy's mad antics until starting school, only to be associated by the similar sound of our last names (mine was real, his contrived). It sucked being called soupy in school as I had nothing other than a name to associate me with Milton Supman. Yet in retrospect, he was ground breaking at the time and made people think. And in all his fun, I think he left some people happy which is indeed a great thing.
Happy Listening!
