How are they going to gloss over that Bazooka Joe's creator, Wesley Morse, allegedly used to illustrate "Tijuana Bibles"? That has to come up in SOME interview....

Anyone remember Robert Crumb's take on Bazooka Joe? The panel with the word balloon that says, "That's why they call me Pud" would certainly spice up any movie.

Key line: "Hammer is a new writer who graduated from Chapman University with a degree in film this past weekend."I think it's time for Michael Eisner to check his meds.
