Released August 2010 on The Overnightscape Underground (onsug.com), an Internet talk radio channel focusing on a freeform monologue style, with diverse and fascinating hosts.
Fearless Fozdick was a satire of Dick Tracy that ran in the Lil Abner strip, by Al Capp, and also was used in a series of ads for Wildroot Cream Oil, a popular pomade of the era. As Capp used many ‘ghost artists’, it is very possible that Frank Frazetta or others actually drew him.
