	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Fearless Fosdick
		Fosdick is a parody of Tracy, grossly exaggerated for comic effect from his square-jawed profile to his propensity for mayhem beyond all reason.
		Fosdick was on the scene at a momentous turning point in its outside comic's history.
		When it looked like Fosdick was about to marry his long-time sweetheart, Prudence Pimpleton, the members had to prepare for marriage as well — but Abner was the only one old enough.

		You might remember Fearless Fosdick, who was Al Capp's brilliant take-off of Gould's Tracey, in the perennially popular comic strip, Li'l Abner.
		Fosdick was Abner's hero, and Li'l Abner often tried to pattern himself after his hero, with often hilariously tragic results.

		"Fearless Fosdick", a ruthless parody of Chester Gould's "Dick Tracy", was one of Al Capp's many brilliant creations within his comic strip masterpiece "Li'l Abner".
		Fosdick, a skinny, hatchet-jawed detective who is frequently riddled with enormous bullet holes (hence the title of this book), is the ideal of Abner Yokum and every red-blooded American boy, and stars in their favorite comic strip, within the "Abner" strip itself.
		Fosdick endures a world of corruption and his seventeen-year engagement to the beastly Prudence Pimpleton in order to slaughter members of the criminal underword for twenty-two-fifty a week.

		The character Li'l Abner (see button #236) was devoted to reading every day's episode of "Fearless Fosdick," whom he referred to endlessly as "my ideel." Detective Fosdick was pathetically incompetent (but often lucky), underpaid ($27.50 a week) and disrespected by his police chief and villains alike.
		Fosdick's marriage was soon annulled but Abner was "really" and permanently married to Daisy, an event that was major "real" news in America.
		Fosdick's enduring trademark image was to be riddled with bullet holes, resembling Swiss cheese.

		This is the first picture we have seen of Frank's airplane with the painting of "Fearless Fosdick" on it and it is a poor image in quality.

	Here Comes The Judge!
		The most famous character to debut in Eagle's 2000 A.D. title, the grimly humorous lawman has been featured in numerous well done stories issued by various publishers, and has inspired a wide range of collectable products, ranging from Ninetendo and pinball games, to model kits, action figures, novels, and card sets.
		The character Judge Dredd, I've always felt, can trace his ancestry back to Al Capp's Fearless Fosdick; both police officers are fanatically dedicated to law enforcement to the exclusion of common sense and mercy, and to the extent than even mere jay-walkers run the risk of being shot.
		Dredd is the Dirty Harry of Mega-City One, a futuristic metropolis sprawled across what's left of America's toasted East Coast.
