Henry Winkler Was The Fonz On His Day Off

When I was a kid, Cracked Magazine used to be more similar to Mad than a weird hybrid of the Onion and Details, and sometimes they included iron-on transfers in the magazine. One of those was a drawing of Arthur Fonzarelli in his classic thumbs-up pose, and it said “I’m the Fonz on his Day Off.”

I wore that shirt a lot. Hey, I was in grade school!

Recently, the actor who portrayed the Fonz on “Happy Days” took up the role again on a day off. He was joined by fellow “Happy Days” alum Ron Howard, who also revisited his first roll alongside Andy Griffith. Together, they did something fun and, yes, subtle (you have to think about it) to get out the vote for Barack Obama.
