Someone pointed me to this 1960's comic book cover - it would make a great t-shirt or temporary tattoo! Also, artist Albert Calleros has done an updated version - see it here. (Click it for a bigger view.)

Seeing the avatar version, I immediately thought it would be ideal for Dave Gannet. I seem to recall one of his albums being "Tubas From Hell".

Could I suggest, Wade, that you email it to him with a suggestion that he adopt it?

Dave has to be the only person I know who can cram a couple chunks of fondue, a big slice of pizza and half a beer into thi mouth and still blow some hot tuba. (Yea, parties at Harve's place were a gas!)

Guess I could make the contact, but think those involved should get the credit.

It looks like Harvey Comics are still kind of in business, although with many changes in ownership over the years. Somebody still holds a character trademark for "Hot Stuff" so it may (or possibly not) be difficult to get a license for t-shirts or whatever. Darn!

As I recall from my childhood comic book reading, Hot Stuff never actually touched the ground - he always floated a few inches above - as seen here.
