LAUREL AND HARDY CENTRAL
(Hard-Boiled Eggs and Nuts!)


NOW CELEBRATING
OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY!

Notes From The Clubs

GUESTBOOK REMOVED

We regret to announce that the Laurel and Hardy Central Guestbook has been discontinued. We've been fighting spam for several months now but it keeps coming back and we just can't keep up.

WE LOVE LUCY!

Our wonderful friend Lucy K. Southward (the lovely lady pictured here) is a freelance artist from Lancashire, England.  She works mainly in graphite pencil, colored pencil and watercolors, and her work blows us away.  Like most wonderful people, she loves Laurel and Hardy, and we invite you to check out her site, where she has her artwork, including her Laurel and Hardy drawings, for sale.  We have no business ties with Ms. Southward, and get no financial renumeration on any sale she makes - we just think she is an outstanding artist and want to share her work.  Thanks, Lucy!

FOR HEATH'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW!

While Laurel and Hardy Central has scaled itself back over the past few years out of necessity, there is one Laurel and Hardy site we love which seems to be expanding endlessly.  If you haven't checked out Another Nice Mess: The Films of Laurel and Hardy, created by our great pal Dave Lord Heath (pictured here in all his "lordly" glory), you owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to do so now.  A true treasure trove of information and graphics that opens up the world of Laurel and Hardy as well as The Hal Roach Studios in ways that may stupefy you!  You could get lost for days in this site!  With Dave's kind permission, we have used some of his excellent screen captures for our Silents section.  Thanks, Dave!

CHARITY BEGINS AT OUR HOME!

Laurel and Hardy Central has opened a small Charity Donation page.  We encourage you to visit it and consider making a donation to one of the organizations we list there. We have no affiliation with any particular charity (and we only have two listed at the moment), but we think that with the number of fine Laurel and Hardy fans who visit this site month in, month out, perhaps together we can make a difference in people's lives!  Thanks! - JB, JL

NICE THINGS WE'VE HEARD
OVER THE YEARS

"Yours is THE Laurel and Hardy site!"

"I am a great fan of both of the Boys and congratulate you on your efforts in attempting to keep their humor and legacy alive."

"A very wonderful job on this site of love and celebration."

"You guys have a real appreciation of the boys -- the kind of appreciation I like: one that can analyze the films without getting overly serious about it.

"Congratulations on the development of this amazing, heartfelt, love letter."

"Thanks for your continued work on L&H Central"

"Definitely the most interesting L&H site, because you do not merely re-hash well-known facts and filmography, but rather offer some very insightful and amusing critique on the films."
