Description A friend wanted me to draw the Major Kong A-Bomb ride from Dr. Strangelove for his new tattoo. I still haven't seen this movie yet. (gulp)

Hahahaa, awesome, I heard they didn´t tell the actor that he was playing in a comedy so he took his role quite serious. I´ll find some info. I makes it so much funnier knowing he never knew it was a comedy xD

From wikipedia
"Fellow actor James Earl Jones recalls, "He was Major Kong on and off the set—he didn't change a thing—his temperament, his language, his behavior." Pickens was not told that the movie was a comedy and was only given the script for scenes he was in, to get him to play it "straight."[16]

Kubrick biographer John Baxter explained the documentary Inside the Making of Dr. Strangelove:

As it turns out, Slim Pickens had never left the United States. He had to hurry and get his first passport. He arrived on the set, and somebody said, "Gosh, he's arrived in costume!," not realizing that that's how he always dressed… with the cowboy hat and the fringed jacket and the cowboy boots—and that he wasn't putting on the character—that's the way he talked."
