Between 1942 and 1950, Robert Bloch (known for writing the novel Psycho, as well as three classic Star Trek episodes) wrote about the extremely tall tales of Lefty Feep, a down-and-out lout. I have footnoted some of the more arcane references (it seems language has changed substantially, even since the 1940s, but then some of the cultural references in early Simpsons episodes are hard to follow now).

Robert Bloch's "Founding Fathers" begins as a riotous time-travel caper, with Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, and Charles Thomson recast as wisecracking gangsters barging into Independence Hall to rewrite history. Franklin nervously takes charge, coaching the others through a frantic, slang-filled version of the signing of the Declaration, while the comedy sharpens the contrast between patriotic legend and criminal hustle.
