* In 1959, the Bouncing Beatnik teamed up with Max O'Million's freshly formed super-hero team, [[Honor Guard]] to turn back a dimensional invasion by [[Shirak|Shirak the Devourer]]. It seemed a rather odd collaboration however, given the cultural differences and fighting styles between the Beatnik and Honor Guard, especially with Max O'Million. Follow up commentary<ref name="KBAC1:2">{{RefComic | title={{KBAC1}} | issue=#2| page=20}}</ref> about the battle from reporters who frequented a local pub appropriately called the [[The Deadline|Deadline]], strongly reinforced this notion. | * In 1959, the Bouncing Beatnik teamed up with Max O'Million's freshly formed super-hero team, [[Honor Guard]] to turn back a dimensional invasion by [[Shirak|Shirak the Devourer]].

* The [[Halcyon Hippie]] as depicted in the early 1970s, might be an modern presentation of what was the Bouncing Beatnik. Fan commentary and letter's page response to his first appearance ({{KBAC2}} #1/2) hint that he might be an alternate reality's version of the Beatnik. A repeat appearance in {{DA1}} #4 strongly infers that the Halcyon Hippie is of this dimension as well. | * The [[Halcyon Hippie]] as depicted in the early 1970s, might be an modern presentation of what was the Bouncing Beatnik.

HistoryThere is a definite sense of a long history associated with the Bouncing Beatnik, but to date, he has made very few on-panel appearances within the pages of Astro City Comics. At least in this form, with this identity. According to a Pyramid computer file, he took down a Pyramid base in Los Angeles in the mid 1960s.[1]
