Boy is it weird how life works out sometimes...
Yesterday the family and I went to Universal Studios Orlando to ride the new Simpsons ride. While we were there I visited their tribute to Lucille Ball and found not only the portrait above (which looked at first sight like it had been done by Jim Howle, but wasn't) but also a photo on the wall of Jose "Pepito" Perez and Desi Arnaz from episode 52 of “I Love Lucy”, “Lucy’s Showbiz Swan Song”.
I also found the pilot on DVD (I Love Lucy, first season, volume one) which I don't think that I've seen since it first re-aired on TV. Whenever I read mention of Pepito I kept thinking of Pat Moran as Buffo, who appears in "The Audition" (I Love Lucy, first season, episode six).
