For those not around at the time of the LA Olympics, it was something of a standing joke that absolutely every product got some sort of sponsorship deal and advertised itself as, say, the official candy bar of the 1984 Olympics. People started to have fun with this. I once walked down the street and saw a cute, modest little yellow car with the following message stenciled on the door: “Chester. The Official Volvo of the 1984 LA Olympic Games”

O man I remember SO many of these SO well, but this is near the top of the list! There’s just something about that first panel with chainsaw action!

I guess that early-Bill slasher epic was a little too strong for sensitive Binkley.
