Ham Fisher
Hammond Edward Fisher (September 24, 1900 (some sources indicate 1901) – December 27, 1955) was an American comic strip writer and cartoonist who signed his work Ham Fisher. He is best known for his popular long-run on ''Joe Palooka'', which was launched in 1930 and ranked as one of the top five newspaper comics strips for several years. Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Ham Fisher dropped out of school at the age of 16 to work as a brush peddler and truck driver before finding employment as a reporter and ad salesman for the ''Wilkes-Barre Record'' and then moving on to a job with the New York ''Daily News''. ==Joe Palooka== In 1920, Fisher put together a sample package of ''Joe Palooka'' (then titled ''Joe the Dumbbell'') but was unable to attract interest. By 1927, he was working as a traveling strip salesman for the McNaught Syndicate. However, Fisher also hawked his own unpublished, unsold strip. In 1928, after he secured over 20 sales, including to New York's ''Daily Mirror'', Fisher informed his managers at McNaught, who decided to give ''Joe Palooka'' a trial run. The comic strip soon became a national success. The strip helped to solidify the word “palooka” as a boxer who lacks grace or ability, although the character Joe Palooka was the heavyweight champion. A dozen low-budget film adaptations of ''Joe Palooka'' appeared from the 1930s into the 1950s. Comic books featuring ''Joe Palooka'' began in 1933 and continued through the 1950s.
