Notice the TS logos on his helmet look a lot like dollar signs. That's a satire of sponsor need & rich guy "buy a ride" all at the same time! And the bad guy is "Baron Von Automatic". Maybe I should post this up at C&D's "Save the Manuals" as well?

Bob Marley and The Banana Splits: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7571952.stm

They almost had me right up to the end, with this passage:

"And although Jamaican music draws inspiration from a wide spectrum of sounds - including country music and R&B - he thinks the cuddly cartoon characters would not have been on Marley's radar. "He was a serious man, I very much doubt that he would have heard of them." "

No, of course not. The Jamaican reggae icon had never heard of the four American stoner furries, because he had more serious things on his mind. I think the image on the Jamaican five dollar bill is a painting of Marley doing a bong swat with Fleagle.
