Re: The Rise and Fall of Flingel Blunt?

ipongrac - 05 Dec 2005 11:46:00

I don't think so, Phil. I am sure that the Shadows (who wrote the
song) had no idea about comics in the SoCal surfing scene. If
anything, given that the song was a bit hit in Europe, and was even
covered by several surf bands in the States, my guess it that
Griffin stole the name for his character from the song.
I have to check in my Shadows books, I believe there is some mention
of the meaning behind the name, but I just can't think of it right
now (and I'm at work).
