I was substitute teaching today and while in the Jr. High library, I saw the librarian's calendar on the wall. Many of the days had a little cupcake with names next to them to represent birthdays of famous writers and artists. On February 23, it said "Walter Wick." I thought, "Holy crap, there's a real Wally Wick!"
I thought I'd have to go home and look this up, that maybe the cleaned up TV version of Dickless was a real person that the movie referenced in 1984. Perhaps I was just clueless to the reference and the rest of you would just roll your eyes. I found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_wick
And this:
http://www.walterwick.com/index.htm
So this guy wasn't even published until the 90's, which kills the idea that the GB's were referencing him. I had thought maybe he wrote about "some kind of rodent, we don't know which". Anyway, I just thought it was a funny coincidence and some of you might get a chuckle out of it.

That's what she said.
