Fearless Fosdick

Fearless Fosdick was a well-known Dick Tracy parody from Al Capp’s popular comic strip Li’l Abner. The dimwitted detective appeared in a comic strip within the strip, as Li’l Abner’s favorite comic. Fosdick is pure, moral, dumb, underpaid, very put upon and prone to shooting innocent bystanders. The character was very funny and actually had his own TV show for a time, but never its own stand-alone comic.
Fosdick also didn’t appear in much advertising, unlike Li’l Abner, his Wildroot Cream Oil adds were an exception and were popular in the 1940’s well into the 1950’s.
