content: Ham Fisher (1900-1955) created and drew "Joe Palooka" which ran from 1930-1984, distributed by McNaught Syndicate. The comic strip revolves around the life of the title character, Joe, a professional boxer, and was intended to show good sportsmanship and morality. Tony DiPreta took over art for the strip in 1959 until 1984, when the strip ended as one of the most successful sports strips in comic history. This is an original drawing of Joe Palooka by DiPreta.
