How to be well groomed (1949)

What is that? (parents in English)

This video was a Zippy video choice a couple years ago, but it bears repeating for Father’s Day. Whether you are a father - or have a father - this brilliant short film is a must-see and it may be a link you may wish to send to your father. Happy Father’s Day to all of NCFR’s fathers and all who practice male generativity.
