The character acquired legendary status in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and is fondly remembered by his many now grown-up fans, including actor/director Bill Paxton (who used “Slam-Bang Theatre” footage in his film Frailty, a murder mystery set in 1960s Fort Worth) and underground comics artists Mack White and Gary Panter (both of whom mention Icky Twerp on their websites).
He is also the author of La Fragilité des clercs ("The Frailty of the Intellectuals", untranslated), an essay in which he analyses the thought of Samuel P. Huntington, Tariq Ramadan, Georges Corm, Alain Besançon and Alain Finkielkraut.
The Frailty of Words is the debut album of the melodic hardcore band Hopesfall.
