Goddard was hip to Marvel comics in 1967

Jack Kirby drawings of Sgt Fury and Captain America make cameos in this movie, which is all the more remarkable when you consider that Marvel Comics were not translated into French until 1969!

Today Marvel is a licensing powerhouse. Only Disney, Viacom, and Time-Warner sell more licensed merchandise. But around 1965-1967 Marvel was a genuine monthly pop art factory, and this is a pure illustration of that.

I'll get over myself when I get on top of your mother. Then I'll get off.

I think God shot some Cereal box cartoon characters in with the other drawings, I recognized Tony the Tiger from Frosted Flakes.
