It was a bubble inflicted injury.

Ocular cancer.

The first frame of the comic had Mort (the guy with the turtleneck over his mouth) asking Joe to "Please keep an eye of my stuff while I'm gone." Suffice it to say, hilarity and irreversible injuries ensued!

[Judge Smails]

Glory Hole accident.

a bazooka

We're trying to be serious here. A bazooka would have taken his whole head off at the very least. Plus, have you ever heard of an incident where someone shot a child with a bazooka in the U.S.? Your entire answer is buffoonish and it brought down the quality of this thread.

To be fair to Marc, I think he meant a small toy bazooka.

then where did he get his name from?

maybe he was shooting the bazooka and the kickback poked his eyeball out.

[RogerDornShortHops]

A shard of glass from when he reached for the cookie jar, but knocked over the fish bowl, thus destroying both his eyeball and the family goldfish, Murray.

Are you trying to play me for the fool? Sir, I am no fool. A kickback from an AY940 would kill you, not poke your eyeball out. This child has suffered a serious, life changing injury and here you are making jokes. I hope you and your arrogant attitude never have your eye poked out, sir, but maybe it would humble you and teach you a lesson in humanity.

i just should've said pink eye to avoid all this trouble.

Your backtracking is appalling and useless. You have been anti-Joe since post 1 of your career here on RonFez.net. In fact, I think I recall your first post referring to a man shooting his "bazooka" into Bazooka Joe's eye. Jerk.

I wish he had an eye patch

[torker]

Now this is something the other tour guides won't tell you. In this particular cell-block, Machine Gun Kelly had what we call in the prison system, a "bitch". And one night in a jealous rage Kelly took a make-shift knife or "shiv", and cut out the bitch's eyes. And as if this wasn't enough retribution for Kelly, the next day he and four other inmates took turns pissing into the bitch's ocular cavities...This way to the cafeteria!

Dear Loren:

The folks at Topps, the makers of Bazooka gum, assure me that Bazooka Joe has 20/20 vision in both eyes and was merely equipped with a patch to give him a distinctive look. Yeah, like a mohawk or a tattoo was too rad, so let's sacrifice binocular vision. Then again, I guess it worked for Brenda Starr's paramour Basil St. John.

Holy shit, that made me laugh. I was LOLing like a current board character.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I heard his eye was taken out by arch rival gum mascot Pud.

[AJDELAWARE]

http://www.topps.com/Confectionery/Bazooka/press/niftyfifty.html

From Topp's themselves:

Much debate has surrounded Bazooka Joe's widely-recognizable eye patch. But despite popular belief, Joe is not visually impaired, nor is he the lovechild of Blondie and Captain Hook. According to company lore, Bazooka Joe began sporting the classic eye patch to make himself look interesting and "distinctive," much like the models in the popular 1950's Hathaway Shirt advertisements Joe's eye patch intentionally satirized.

It was a Bushwick Bill Situation
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000000W7U.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
Bushwick Bill - Ever So Clear

...
I broke out the Ever-Clear and then I drunk some mo'
Until it was all gone
Now I'm lookin for somebody to take my pain out on
But not just anybody, gee
I'ma take that on to Mica cos she's the closest to me
Full of that Ever-Clear and high on that buddah
Get to the house all I'm thinkin bout is shootin her
Cos shootin her would be sweet
But you know what'd be sweeter? if I make her shootin me
Call me crazy, but that's what I'm thinkin
I'm trippin from all that smokin weed and drinkin
But I knew she wouldn't do it on her own, so I provoked her
Punched her, kicked her, and chocked her
She still wouldn't grab the gun
And at that time I wasn't thinkin about no one
Damn near crazy I went and grabbed the baby
Held him by the door and said i'ma throw his ass out, hoe
She went to cryin, somebody stop him
I said: you better grab the muthafuckin gun or i'ma drop him
She snatched the baby out of my hands
We started fighting, punching, scratching, and biting
When we fell on the bed, check this shit
All kinds of crazy shit was goin through my head
So I ran and got the gun and came back to her
Loaded it up and handed the gat to her
I grabbed her hand and placed the gun to my eye muscle
She screamed stop and then we broke into another tussle
Yo, durin the fight the gun went off quick
Damn! aw shit, I'm hit
(Aw... my eye, I can't see
Why you shot me in the eye?
I woulda shot you in the body
Why you shot me in the eye?)
Ridin in the ambulance everything is hectic
I can't get a grip, I just can't check this
Everybody's cryin, could it be I'm dyin
Bullet in my head, in the bed was lyin
Where's Mica? I wanna tell her I love her
With an [ ] in my arm I took a picture for an album cover
Goddamn, the shit's a trip, gee
Five different doctors with needles tryin to stick me
I hear my family hollerin he needs us
Durin the confusion, man, I seen jesus
My mom's on the phone long-distance from New York
Here comes the doctors again tryin to rip me apart
I got a monkey on my back, I can't shake it
I'm havin suicidal thoughts hopin that I don't make it
But I'ma make it cos something's steady urgin me
Five hours passed, I made it through surgery
And the doctor said I wouldn't make it through the night
But god told me everything is gonna be alright
And I'm glad that I'm here, gee
But it's fucked up I had to lose an eye to see shit clearly

[OGC]

Are we talking about Bazooka Joe or the actor who plays Bazooka Joe ?

You know he doesn't really wear an eye patch, it is part of his costume.

[DolaMight]

Attempting to chew a rock hard piece of bazooka joe gum shattered a molar and sent enamel shrapnel through his jaw and into his eye socket. It also left him impotent.
