It goes without saying that you remember the funnybook hero,
Superduck, who bore the soubriquet, "The Cock-Eyed Wonder," as well as
his Muslim - *dekkids* before 9/11! - nemesis, Ali Hassan Nohome?

Is "cock-eyed" a variant of "wall-eyed"? Or of "cross-eyed," the one
of these words that had any currenct among the colored of my era and,
hence, the only one that has meaning for me. And, no, I've never been
particularly curious as to the meanings of the other two. I've had no
use for them in life and, in literature, they can be ignored.
