      Mike Wallace was a journalist on the TV show _60 Minutes _ and this comic is likely a take on journalists asking about sensitive topics. Wikipedia tells me that Wallace had a special in 1982 where he interviewed an American general about the Vietnam war and I wonder if that was the inspiration for this one.
