Description

'Joe Palooka' pencil sketch drawing by Ham Fisher (5.32x8.5). The sketch is of the head of a man smoking and was drawn at Manhattan's famous Stork Club during the early 1950's on the back of six food and drink order forms for Ben & Me & Sherry & R. Harrison. It's believe R. Harrison is the actor Rex Harrison who often frequented the Stork Club with his wife Lilli Palmer. Joe Palooka is an American comic strip about a heavyweight boxing champion, created by cartoonist Ham Fisher. The strip debuted on April 19, 1930[1] and was carried at its peak by 900 newspapers. It was cancelled in 1984. The strip was adapted to a 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.
