Yes, in the early 1970s there arose a character so silly, a personage so outre, that he dared not even place his actual name in the credits of his cult-status TV show on late-night Tulsa TV.
That critter was the incredible Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi, and here are a few fragments from 
the archives of his 5-year reign.
the archives of his 5-year reign.
Young people wanted to dress like him!
He popularized 7Up, "the uncola," with discount-earning membership in "Mazeppa's Uncola Underground Card."
He even dressed in tights as his alter ego, Jetzeppa Landingear.
Google "Mazeppa Pompazoidi" and find out for yourself.

Hi My name is john i'm 56yrs old and I grew up in Tulsa and
Inola where I went to High School. I consider myself a native tulsan.
I Just found your web blog and have a question
your Jetzeppa landinggear picture what exactly
is it?v Is it a poster store display or a picture?
Earlier this summer I found and bought a original Jetzeppa
landinggear poster at the Tulsa Flea Market at the Fairgrounds
in good shape for $75. The only Mazeppa posters I new existed were
The Black and White Tulsa State Fair Poster, The color join the
Mazeppa 7up Uncola underground one, and the Jetzeppa landinggear one.

John, your email address could not receive my reply. Here it is:
ReplyDeleteHi John,
My Jetzeppa Landingear poster is printed on heavy posterboard. It’s a single flat sheet. The image is in pieces because the thing is too big to fit on my scanner in one piece.
The poster was part of a 7-Up display, and I asked if I could have it. That’s all I remember.
My guess is the store was Ray’s Thrif-T-Wise, where my mom shopped. It’s long gone now.
That’s all the info I have! Happy Halloween time,
