On The Bubble

Sigh...!

Mark Hammer has signed on to pen "Bazooka Joe", a feature film adaptation of the Topps bubble gum comic strip The Hollywood Reporter.



Joe, who wears an eye patch for reasons never explained, has child-friendly misadventures, sometime joined by various friends like Pesty, Mort, Toughie, Hungry Herman, love interest Jane and a dog named Walkie Talkie.

Since just about every comic book ever created gets at least one film--comic strips are the next logical step I suppose...

...Early in March it was announced in The Hollywood Reporter that Tom Dey is going to adapt the classic strip Marmaduke for the big screen as well.
