Muffler Man - Happy Half Wit

He is in good shape, even after two hurricanes back to back. It is just a long block off the interstate and easy to get back on the freeway.

Muffler Man - Happy Half-Wit

There is an "Alfred E. Neuman" figure in front of Ken's Mufflers, on Eleventh Street in Beaumont, Texas. He has "Hollywood" painted on his shirt. There is another one on US 75 in north-central Dallas. Also, according to Hal Morgan's Symbols of America , a history of American trade symbols and logos, the Neuman face is actually "a peculiar folk creation used in cartoons and advertisements as far back as 1905 ... All Mad really added was his name and a wider notoriety." Just thought you might find that interesting.
