Funnyman

Funnyman was a later creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman, after losing that character to D.C. Comics. Funnyman is a sorta Danny Kaye character, or you might say the heroic identity of such a character, since he also has a secret identity like Clark Kent. Another character in Funnyman's adventures resembles Lois Lane. Here is the first month of episodes of Funnyman daily strip.

The Spectre - MORE FUN #78

The Spectre was a character that was deemed too powerful by DC comics, so they made him less powerful and added a comedy relief character called "Percival Popp, the Supercop". Percival Popp was really the same character as Horatio F. Hinkle from the Superman radio show, who later turned up on one episode of the television version, "The Runaway Robot". Superman and the Spectre were both written by Jerry Siegel, but the Spectre had a different artist, Bernard Bailey. This story was originally published in MORE FUN #78 in 1942.

Funnyman is a sorta Danny Kaye character, or you might say the heroic identity of such a character. Other characters in this story resemble Lois Lane and Mxyzptlk , although Funnyman pulls a switch on the otherworld beings in his adventure by pulling pranks on them and thereby saving the day.
