When did Curly begin to slip?

I first notice his speech to be a little slurred. then, as time goes by I notice his actions and appearance change. The 5 shorts that I find almost unbearable to watch because of Curly's ill health are. If A Body Meets A Body, Beer Barrel PoleCats, Monkey Businessmen, Three Loan Wolves and Half-Wits Holiday.

I think the first signs, appearnce wise, and only slightly, is PHONY EXPRESS, though Curly's still funny in that short. One of the bad things about watching the shorts in order on the new set is watching Curly decline. Vol. 4 starts out great but it gets a little depressing towards the end. Vol. 5 won't get much better 'til Shemp joins.

And for the record, there is no such book.

Thanks for pointing that out Brent, I went and deleted it from Shemp's Wiki entry.

So, Shemp did not have a stroke at all then? Or is only the wiki stuff about the book wrong?

Just the book, Shemp died of a heart attack
Woe-ee-Woe-Woe80:
To me the first short where Curly seems to be starting to slip is "The Yoke's On Me", Curly doesn't seem 100% energetic in that short.
