The comic strips in the film were actually drawn by the late Alex Toth. Alex Toth (June 25, 1928 May 27, 2006), pronounced with a long "o", was a professional cartoonist. He began his career in comic strips and comic books but is best known for his animation designs for Hanna-Barbera throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
His work included Super Friends, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost and Birdman.
Toth's work has been resurrected in the late-night, adult-themed spinoffs on Cartoon Network: Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Sealab 2021 and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
Some newspapers even carried 10 days of teaser Bash Brannigan strips which got sillier and sillier with insider Hollywood comments each day of its' short run.

The title refers to the now very old Ivory Soap claim of 99 and 64/100% Pure - and there is another "old" meaning for 'pure' that would be known to Frankenheimer and Dillon. It's another word for the material tanners would use in browning leather - dog turds. This should have been a clue to the humor to follow.
This is an interesting and odd film.

It's a fictional account of how the real-life Mel Brooks wooed Anne Bancroft while babysitting a hard drinking Errol Flynn before his appearance on "The Show of Shows."
The music is damn good too.
