You just aren't old enough maybe? I grew up in the 50's next to SAC (duck and cover? What good will that do if you are in a smoking hole?) As for Slim Pickins riding the bomb, don't you remember "Hopalong Cassidy" with him yelling "Hey, Bill. Wait for me!" He was the cold war counterpart of his character in the cowboy series. It is a classic because it is disturbing and too close to true for comfort, but also reminds us of the fatalistic sense of humor we had to develop back then in order to stay sane.
