Reply #60: Factless Fosdick [View All]

[William Seger]

It was probably before your time, but Fearless Fosdick was a comic strip within a comic strip; Li'l Abner's "ideel" he-man detective, but it was really a parody of Dick Tracy. Fosdick tried hard to be a good detective, but he had a bad habit of shooting innocent onlookers while the bad guys got away. Logic wasn't his strong suit either; he would do things like shooting everyone he saw who was opening a can of a particular brand of beans because he thought one can was poisoned. He once solved a crime where someone who had been sitting in a chair in a locked room was thrown out a window, by deducing that the chair had to be the culprit -- and the chair got the chair for it. But one amazing attribute Fosdick had was the ability to withstand a hail of bullets and walk away looking like a piece of Swiss cheese, but apparently unrattled in the least.
