Original sentence: Fearless Fosdick was a policeman who was the hero of the Li'l Abner character in Al Capp's Li'l Abner comic strip which appeared from 1934 to 1977.He would shoot innocent bystanders in a regular fashion and was always apprehending the wrong individuals while criminals went free.The strip-within-a-strip at times added much humour as when Abner mindlessly aped his role model (even styling his hair similarly by using the product Fosdick endorsed).This was not surprising since Fosdick was not very smart and behaved like a total fool
