 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Ozark Ike
Ike McBatt was pretty much a stereotyped hillbilly — both stronger and smarter than an ox, tho in the latter case not by as great a margin, with a family that was forever feuding with its neighbors, the Fatfields.
This made for complications in his love affair with Dinah Fatfield, as did the fact that he spent much of his time away from their home town, Wildwood Run, as part of a baseball team — or a football or a basketball team, when those sports happened to be in season.
Ozark Ike continued, under King Features pinch-hitters Bill Lignante and George Olesen, both of whom were later closely associated with The Phantom.
