may be a stretch and maybe some have noted already but is there any feeling
about 'Doc' Sportello referencing famed HL Humes, aka as Doc.
Reading Humes' life story is pretty fascinating and so many Pynchon-like
vibes, parallels, what have you. also begs the question whether Mr P ever
met him. Humes is both like Pynchon himself as well as being a character in
his books.
There is an old PBS documentary about him
