Remember Goober (The Andy Griffith Show). He wore one and it was around the same time period, also he always had a comic book rolled up in his back pocket, same as Gomer.

This is the "Big One", I've put off getting this for years & now that I have it, the highest # of GL I need is now #13. I need 6 total issues to complete my GL run:

Wonderful Joe Kubert cover!

Awesome GL 76 bob! I'm working on that run, but not to the point of buying that book yet. I've read that it's the showcase 4 of the Bronze Age.
