From the Joe Rock Studios came the "A Ton of Fun" series of comedy shorts, promoted at the time as 'starring the three fattest men on the screen'. The series was launched in 1925 and ran two years. Alternatively known as The Three Fatties, they were played in order of girth by Hilliard "Fat" Karr, Kewpie Ross and Frank "Fatty" Alexander. The films were "Tailoring" (1925), "All Tied Up" (1925), "Three Wise Goofs" (1925), "Heavy Love" (1926), "The Heavy Parade" (1926), "Three of a Kind" (1926), "Old Tin Shoes" (1927), "Three Missing Links" (1927), and "Campus Romeos" (1927). Produced by Joe Rock, the shorts were made by Poverty Row studio [[Standard Photoplay Company and released by [[Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.]]'s [[Film Booking Offices of America]], (F.B.O.).
