notes in Soupy Sez!
"I was tired of the constant
struggle. I had faith in myself.
I knew that I'd land on my
feet. And so, I quit. A lot of
times you have to take stock
in yourself and that's what I
did."
But by exposing his unseen
ups and downs, Sales believes
that one message in his book
comes through loud and clear.
"You must never give up,"
he insists. "Nothing comes
easy At times you think you're
doing well and somebody
always pulls it out from under
you and you must get up, put
it behind you, and start all
over again."
That's exactly what he did,
by frequently appearing on
game shows, taking his stand-
up comedy act on the road
and performing his 1965 hit
The Mouse, and reviving his _
original TV format on his syn-
dicated The New Soupy Sales
Show in the late 1970s.
