BOMB Squad Hero Resigns



On December 20th, 2008 came the news of the resignation of Earl "The Gum Bubble Coach" Hartwell, Canada's Greatest Bubblegum Bubble Blower, from The BOMB Squad, the result of having discovered a higher purpose that he chose to focus his talents on.

This was very disturbing news, as Earl was an immense and spectacular contributor to the creation and development of The BOMB Squad, Bubblegum Heaven and The BUBBLEGUM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. His designations as BOMB Squad Hero and spot in bubblegum history were well earned.

One of his signature moments was really a turning point in bubblegum history when he notified The BOMB Squad of the article mentioned in an earlier blog about the marketing experts who suggested bubblegum go back to the basics, focusing on bubbles. This event mobilized The BOMB Squad the way no other event ever had, and put into motion events that eventually lead to the formation of The BUBBLEGUM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

Losing Chewsy Suzy and then Earl in less than three months were mighty blows for the BOMB Squad to take, fortunately enough roots had been set down to weather the storm. The BOMB Squad and The BUBBLEGUM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP are on solid ground at the time this was written and are prepared to take on and create the future.

Both Suzy and Earl are and well be deeply missed, but as Suzy would say, the show must go on. And it will go on, thanks in great part to the contributions of these great bubblegum history makers who's BOMBlastic contributions need to be remembered for as long as the product exists!
