It was a marketing gimmick ;
"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. Since then, Bazooka Joe has experienced countless comic adventures, from intergalactic space travel to visits from Shakespeare and Picasso. Bazooka Joe's popularity has inspired a band, a DJ, and even a cocktail all bearing the name Bazooka Joe. "
But for me, wearing a RayBan sunglasses more cool than eye patch.
