TV Ghost and the Spits at Churchill’s Pub June 10

In a certain way, TV Ghost is the sweet, playful jelly to the no-nonsense, peanut-buttery Spits. You could also say that TV Ghost is the pugnacious, frenetic Scrappy Doo to the Spits’ more worldly, less frilly Scooby. But most aptly, we might draw a Ralph Malph to Fonzie comparison, if…
