tank girl

[Aaron Yeater]

i just thought this was a neat connection (i am making no claim on 
authorial intent by the scripters of the comic/film) but for those 
who've seen "Tank Girl", anybody notice that the Cole Porter number 
in the middle was, well, Pynchonic?  i mean, in the middle of 
rescuing a little girl threatened by a pedophile from an elaborate 
whorehouse in the middle of a wasteland a rather assertive pair of 
young women strike up a rendition of "Let's Fall in Love" surrounded 
by military and sexual symbols, interrupted at the end by a 
paramilitary counterattack...i dunno, all i could think was "Floozy 
w/ an Uzi" from vineland...

obviously, trp's style in GR has some comic-book stylistic 
elements...has there been any discussion about pynchon's impact on 
comic books, particularly the graphic novel form?  anyway, curious to 
know what other people think...
