Sorry to be the bearer of bad news (depending on how you look at it), but there is no pivotal “Pesty shoots Bazooka in the eye” strip. Bazooka Joe never lost his eye to begin with. Seems back in the 50s (when Bazooka comics began) eye-patches were all the rage. The creators felt adding an eye-patch to the B-man would give him a more distinctive look.
FYI…jury is still out on if Mort actually has a bottom half to his face.
I would've gone with firecrackers or bukkake (or however it's called). Turned out i was wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhether he was faking it, or not, I loved Bazooka bubblegum!
ReplyDeleteJoe ain't cool until he loses that eye of his. Then he'll be the bad ass in town.
ReplyDeleteSoooo... Who's Bazooka Joe?
ReplyDeleteEyepatches are always cool.
ReplyDeleteI miss Bazooka. I guess I'm showing my age here.
ReplyDeleteChicks love pirates
ReplyDeleteEyepatches are hawt. They melt yer knickers!
ReplyDeleteWhy were eye patches all the rage? Kids preparing to be Somali pirates?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Lola
I love eyepatches. They melt my knickers too!
ReplyDeleteEye patches are creepy. I never did understand why some guys enjoy role playing as pirates. geez.
ReplyDeleteI could care less about the stupid little comic, just gimme the damn gum!
ReplyDeleteI would only wear an eye patch if, in fact only one eye works. Why obstruct your vision if both eyes work just fine?
Good gum!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mort was hiding the fact he had no chin?
ReplyDeleteHe lost his eye in the war. The war against eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blast from the past. Do they even make it anymore? Loved Bazooka. Great bubbles.
ReplyDeletetoo busy lol'ing @ hadistic plumber's comment to remember what I was going to write! ha
ReplyDeleteAre you telling me Tarantino ripped off Bazooka Joe for the Kill Bill movies? Lame.
ReplyDeleteI'm part of the group that says no, there is no lower part of his face there.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I haven't thought about Bazooka Joe in YEARS. Do they even still sell it?
ReplyDeletebukkakre, yes, yes, yes...
