A co-worker and I were discussing Bazooka gum today. I told her how I would sit on the walkway in front of the 7-11 chewing my gum and reading the comic. She said she read them in Spanish growing up in Argentina and in Hebrew as a young woman living in Israel. Joe gets around. I had no idea.
Now it turns out there's so much more to the Bazooka Joe universe than meets the eye. The Shrine of Bazooka Joe has all the comics analyzed and divided in themes. I expect Joe to start showing up on college syllabi pretty soon.
Again we see Bazooka Joe misuse his charismatic personality to swindle the working man.
