...toot with the boys in uniform. To save the family's reputation, Trudy must convince Norval Jones (Eddie Bracken), the 4F loony who has loved her since childhood, to marry her while impersonating the soldier who knocked her up - whoever he was. (Trudy thinks his name might have been Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki.)

And if his grasp of the problem is shaky, his groping toward a solution is worse. When Spiegelman compares Osama bin Laden to Ignatz, the cheeky brick-throwing mouse from George Herriman's Krazy Kat, the mind recoils in dismay. "Since every Eden has its snake," Spiegelman writes of Ignatz/bin Laden, "one must somehow learn to live in harmony with that snake!"
