The four brothers pictured (L-R) are: <strong>Zeppo, Groucho, Chico</strong> and <strong>Harpo</strong>.  Also, the towering houseplant in back is named &quot;Margaret Dumont,&quot; after one of their beloved movie foils!</p>
<p dir="auto">To say a single word about the Marx Bros is to risk spending a few weeks fruitlessly trying to sum up their careers in as few essays as possible, but everyone knows how to use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_Brothers" rel="nofollow ugc"><strong>WP</strong></a>, so I'll give you something a little different:</p>
<p dir="auto">It's Mark Evanier's legendary blog, in which he tells many, many stories from the POV of a longtime writer for TV, comics, and a few other ventures.  Most of those insider stories are based on his Hollywood and major USA comics work, plus some of his loves, like Broadway &amp; theatre.  His is one of the most 'high-signal / low-noise' blogs you'll every read about anything, so let's see what he had to say about Los Bros <s>Hernandez</s> Marx!</p>

<p dir="auto"><strong>NOTE</strong>: some of the sadder entries are about his interviews and time spent with a fading Groucho... which were not necessarily pretty. :S</p>
