Professor J. Moggerty Fump

A delightfully offbeat figure from the Golden Age of funny-animal comics, Professor J. Moggerty Fump made his entrance in Fox's All Top Comics #3 in 1946, brought to life by Ellis Chambers. With a name that practically begs to be read aloud, this quirky character shares his pages with the likes of Cosmo Cat and the wonderfully named Horroface, turning up across Fox's cheerful anthology titles — All Top Comics, Cosmo Cat, and Wotalife — during that brief, breezy window of 1946–47. Four appearances may be a slim count, but for Golden Age enthusiasts who love the era's eccentric corners and forgotten personalities, Professor J. Moggerty Fump is exactly the kind of wonderfully named oddity that makes digging through vintage Fox comics such a rewarding adventure.
