Thoroughly likeable super-hero pastiche in the manner of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons. The Mighty Bomb is a third generation super-hero prone to winning his battles the simple old fashioned way: by throwing grenades at his enemies. In between he has to listen to lectures from his grandfather, World War II's Blue Bomber, and cope with his daily job as a dustman. It's silly and it's fun
