Here's a wonderful vintage Lima Ohio memorabilia postcard picturing Bo-Bo & Charlie, who starred on Lima's TV show Cartoon Clubhouse.
Here's the scoop from WIMA's website:
Chuck started as a staff announcer in 1960. From 1963 to 1965 at 5:00pm, "Charlie" (Chuck Osburn) and "Bobo the Clown"(Denny First) entertained kids around the Lima area with the "Cartoon Clubhouse". Each day Charlie would fly in the day's cartoons and show them on the "Cartoonoscope", plus a multitude of characters would show up from time to time.
Chuck Osburn went on to become the Program Director of WIMA Television, then to Station Manager of WIMA Television in 1971. Chuck left in 1976 and passed away in 2003.
As of 2011, Denny First worked in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as a director at the NBC television affiliate, WKJG Television.
