I'd always assumed that he had a skin membrane over his head.

Aye, it always looked like afterbirth to me - which freaked me right out as a wee boy. Obviously Bubba's mutation isn't that he has actual chewing gum all over his face - that would make no more sense than Middenface having an aluminium can poking out the top of his napper. I agree 100% that Bubba's a fantastic bit of character design; he's got an oddly tragic, agonised, wraith-like quality which reflects his despairing nihilism and contrasts well with the practical brutality of his methods.

Nice topical avatar there Sauchie!

He looks like he has a stocking over his face - just like Clive James!

I thought his face was like a bubble gum bubble (as in Hubba Bubba).

Never thought of that before - makes sense to me now! I always thought his face looked like it had been shrink wrapped.

I seem to remember Tharg explaining on the letters page that it was indeed a film of skin rather than a bag.  Nice letter heading too: 'Mad Max - The Film.'
