Brick Mantooth thoughts.

[torgospizza]

Every now and then, I kind of wonder how the guy Brick's based on would react if he had any idea he sort of exemplifies the 70s to a group of people (us, namely). Any idea what happened to the fellow? He's got to be in his mid-60s approaching 70, by now.

I bet he may be wearing a rug at this point, but still has some steam left in that stride. Can ya dig it?

That's pretty bad.

That's pretty bad.

So bad its good. The guy who did this, Jack Barlow was actually a little embarrassed to do it,thus the name change on that 45 to "Zoot Fenster".He is also the baritone voice in the 70s Big Red gum commercials,plus many more voice overs in other commercials.There's my unnecessary trivia for the day.

He is a fictious character cooked up by me, the alter ego of the super collector. There is no such person.

I realize that Brick is a made up character.....but what's the deal with the pic below? That isn't a real guy in this pic? I thought the sculpt of Brick was based on him. Is it just some random pic out of a catalog photoshopped in or something?

I think I just found my answer in the "Unleashing the Mantooth" thread.
