That seems highly unlikely, Pen. >.> I'm pretty sure it's an homage.

A Depp movie I've never heard of before? Intriguing.

Yeah, I had wondered about the name when I first saw it with Benny's portrait on the back cover of Issue 2. It's got to be an homage.

See, I heard about it when I was in Cancun over New Year's. I turned on the TV one evening and on the channel it happened to be on, what came up as the title of the movie starting up but "Benny and Joon".
And I went,

I always figured that was where it came from.

If not, well, it's a funny coincidence, anyway.
