I think there must be various contenders for that "invented the remote control" crown - I just hear someone claim today that (in addition to Mr. Adler mentioned in the story) a Mr. Birdseye, the brother of the Frozen Food empire, invented the remote control.

In any case, rest in peace.

Cartoon I have in a drawer somewhere:

Big office, high up over a city. Impressive looking guy in suit standing at window with a glower on his face..... pointing a remote out the window at the world.
