Al Capp's comic strip, Li'l Abner which ran from the thirties to the seventies, had a very unlucky character named Joe Btfsplk who always had a dark raincloud above his head. To get more on topic the strip sometimes had a strip within a strip telling of the adventures of Fearless Fosdick which was obviously a takeoff on Dick Tracy. If you don't know who Dick Tracy is try renting the Warren Beatty, Madonna movie or look up the much earlier movie series. Mark
