lovely bumpkins
19 July 2023
Ma and Pa Kettle are a disgrace to the local community. Just as their property is about to be condemned, they win a tobacco slogan contest and the prize is a new modern house. The community is overjoyed.

Ma and Pa Kettle are two side characters from the book/movie "The Egg and I". Apparently, it was a bit of a surprise that these characters became the breakout stars over the lead characters in the original movie. I have to check it out and see. It's fairly simple. They are the standard lovable country bumpkins. There are many similar characters in entertainment throughout history. They would start a series of films. One can see why. They are a lovely example of this cinematic trope.
