- Fearless Fosdick is the title character of a strip-within-a-strip in the feature Li'l Abner by Al Capp. The strip and character Fearless Fosdick are a parody of Dick Tracy. Fosdick was rail-thin, with slicked-back black hair, a moustache, and a pronounced under-bite that ended in a pointed jaw even more pronounced than Tracy's. In the world of Li'l Abner, Fosdick's creator was a cartoonist named Lester Gooch, a parody of Chester Gould. Gooch was often depicted as certifiably insane, reveling in the gore and mayhem he was drawing.

| - Fearless Fosdick is the title character of a strip-within-a-strip in the feature Li'l Abner by Al Capp. The strip and character Fearless Fosdick are a parody of Dick Tracy. Fosdick was rail-thin, with slicked-back black hair, a moustache, and a pronounced under-bite that ended in a pointed jaw even more pronounced than Tracy's. Fosdick is a slightly dim-witted though doggedly determined police officer. Starting as a patrolman in 1923 and becoming a detective in 1948, Fosdick lived on a meager salary of $22 per month. Fosdick was frequently fired and re-hired, at which point his pay rate would be re-set to the apprentice wage of $11 per month. Fosdick would not have been able to afford to eat if not for the meals provided to him by his long-time fiancée, Prudence Pimpleton. The fictional Fosdick was the hero and role model of Abner Yokum, and it was Fosdick's marriage to Prudence that prompted Abner's marriage to Daisy Mae (not the result of a Sadie Hawkins Day race, as many believe). This was due to Abner's membership in the Fearless Fosdick Fan Club, which required him to do anything that Fosdick did. Fosdick's wedding was later revealed to be a dream, but Abner's marriage was legitimate. In the world of Li'l Abner, Fosdick's creator was a cartoonist named Lester Gooch, a parody of Chester Gould. Gooch was often depicted as certifiably insane, reveling in the gore and mayhem he was drawing. In July of 2016, Dick Tracy experienced a dream in which he found himself paired with Fosdick to capture Evil Eye Fleegle, another character from Li'l Abner.
