What A Card! The Story of Clellan Card and Axel and his Dog

By Julian West

This is the story of Clellan Card, the man known to kid all over Minnesota as Axel.  From 1954 to 1966, he entertained children of all ages on WCCO-TV. Broadcasting from his “treehouse” Axel introduced The Little Rascal programs, played with Towser the dog and Tallula the Cat, and playfully teased Carmen the Nurse.  Julian West has interviewed those that knew Clellan Card and worked with him throughout his career. The book is filled with rare photos and comes with a DVD featuring 2 hours of Axel clips that have not been seen in more than 40 years.
