Don't we have a comedy star nowadays--similar to Buster Keaton?

Buster Biden!

He trips on dogs,falls down stairs,mumbles incoherently,gets lost in al fresco restaurants,misremembers things,totally screws up statistics and these are the things we only KNOW about.

Just insert some background music and a two reeler could be released once a month with the comedy stylings of Buster Biden.

That's amazing footage.Well worth watching--and the Keatons lived in Muskegon,Michigan--where I was born(though rumors of me and Buster being childhood pals are almost totally untrue,lol).

Keaton and Arbuckle were pre-Laurel and Hardy of course--and great at physical comedy.Very impressive.
