Our very own ambassador to the critters of the world: Robert Duncan is a lover of man and beast alike. Or maybe he’s just a bit of a furry.

Alumni news, part 2: Sausage?!?
Posted in Yearbook | 15 May 2009 | by D/C
The same day that news arrives about Toby getting hired by some TV show called the Colbert Report comes news that Ian “Sausage” Dailey (above left; second from right at right), longtime Duncan/Channon media planner, dismissed two years ago on unspecified “moral” grounds (well, yeah, after he left for B-school), is president of the team that has won the $200,000 MIT Clean Energy Prize, a prestigious national student competition sponsored by MIT, Boston utility NSTAR and the US government. Again, an unholy mix of pride and envy swells our hearts, if not other parts. Hey, Sausage and Toby, don’t forget the little people.
Alumni news: Colbert Report takes D/C castoff
Posted in Yearbook | 14 May 2009 | by D/C
Is it a measure of how high we’ve risen or how low Colbert has fallen? News arrives today that former Duncan/Channon copywriter, Toby Wexner (né Max Werner, pictured above left), has been hired as a writer for the Colbert Report. (Yeah, we’d never heard of it either.)
Toby/Max was green as a tree frog with swine flu when he arrived at our august institution, straight from four years at some Slacker U. on Harvard Square. D/C-style tough love helped transform the callow amphibian into a prince of an advertising scribe, yet a mere five years later he was told, in no uncertain terms, to get out and stay out. Well, after he announced he was going to Hollywood to be a screenwriter (good luck with that!).
So today’s Alumni News is offered as a cautionary tale. After all, you wouldn’t want to wind up like Toby: national TV, fancy NY crib, big salary, famous friends, and all the nose candy you can hoover. Sucks.
Update 17 June: Two days into the job and he’s already on camera.
We have a situation

Sometimes we rub elbows with the rich and famous. Duncan, especially.

Gotta love the Wayback Machine. This is the Duncan/Channon website circa 1996. Yes, really. (Click here for a full-size version.) I Photoshopped the browser window on there, btw. I’m pretty sure that version of Netscape Navigator wasn’t even around until ’97 or ’98.
