Bazooka Joe

Like Cracker Jacks always had a free nifty gift inside - Bazooka Bubble Gum always had a comic strip inside. It was a little something extra for the money spent - making it a smart selection at the candy counter. Bazooka Joe started back in the 50's and for all I know still in there. I don't chew gum like I used to. I once heard that Bazooka Joe started his career as spokes-toon for the Daisy Red Ryder B-B Gun but lost his job due to mishap.

You are a clever individual..
I like the job reference at the end.
Bazooka Joe was a favorite growing up. What a cool name...BAZOOKA JOE. I just like saying it.
Gosh..how did we so screwed up in our country today? Why can't parents let kids be kids? Let them have a childhood. I appreciate you and Gina and the love you have poured into your two girls.
