thehefnerDean Martin was a closet comic book fan.
According to Jerry Lewis, he loved whatever he could get his hands on- Captain Marvel, Superman, Batman. There have been only two times that Jerry had ever seen Dean actually flustered: the first was when he met Frank Sinatra, and the second was when he met Bob Kane. Now, bear in mind, back in these days, comics really *were* kids' stuff, and Dean had an image to uphold. So he had Jerry buy his comics for him!
As if Dino wasn't The MAN enough.
Also, Dean's advice to Jerry on getting rid of crabs? "Rub sand on your body and then pour alcohol on yourself. The little bastards get drunk and kill each other throwing rocks."
God damn. I love you, Dean Martin.
