Here's something to do in the doldrums while everyone but you is at SDCC: Vote on the new Bazooka Joe gang for the 21st century. They've pretty much got a token character for every taste on that page, but I don't see the new Joe design. The rumor is that they're going to turn his ball cap around. Hopefully, they won't let him rap anymore, for mercy's sake.

Despite the grisly stories you may have heard, Topps claims that Bazooka Joe's eye patch is purely a style choice. Binocular vision must have been really uncool in the '40s. (Of course, they also claim that he was named after a musical instrument from the '30s, not the WWII weapon that was contemporary to his birth.)

Update: The new Joe is in the upper left corner of the page, snuck into the site header and already pushin' product.
