What critics compared Li'l Abner to
Fleck, who earns his living as a clown for hire, reminds me of Joe Btfsplk, the character from the old “Li’l Abner” comic strip who was a walking jinx with a dark cloud always over his head.
The basterds are led by Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), whose artificially heavy corn-pone accent suggests a road-company production o f "Li'l Abner."
