Joe Palooka was an American comic strip about a heavyweight boxing champion,
created by cartoonist Ham Fisher in 1921. The strip debuted in 1930
and was carried at its peak by 900 newspapers.
The strip was adapted to a short-lived 15-minute CBS radio series,
12 feature-length films (chiefly from Monogram Pictures), nine Vitaphone film shorts,
a 1954 syndicated television series (The Joe Palooka Story), comic books
and merchandise, including a 1940s board game, a 1947
New Haven Clock & Watch Company wristwatch, a 1948 metal lunchbox featuring depictions of Joe, Humphrey and Little Max, and a 1946 Wheaties
cereal box cut-out mask. In 1980, a mountain in Pennsylvania was named for the character.
