Ham Fisher created Joe Palooka, a gentlemanly boxer, for a popular comic strip. Joe became heavyweight champ and appeared in movies, radio, television and comic books. The strip ran from 1930 to 1984. I never read it because the San Francisco newspapers didn't carry it while I was reading them.

Comic Book #2 -- February 24, 2011

I have mentioned it before, but I always enjoy seeing the Axis leaders get their comeuppance. Ham Fisher created Joe Palooka, a gentlemanly boxer. Here Joe usesHitler and Mussolini punching bags. I don't recognize the little guy who is beating up on Tojo.

It was very cold today and it rained much of the day.
