There's a fella in Peru, Indiana, who only laughed 27,316 times while reading a Herbie story.
Question Mark uses machines for every type of crime, but the Fat Fury foils his efforts. After 10,416 curses, Question Mark uses his Locate Things Machine to find the Fat Fury and his Source of His Powers Machine to discover that his Destroying All Lollipops machine will disable his adversary. Then Question Mark unleashes a Fat Fury (Phony Phat Phury) robot that everyone mistakes for our hero. Without his lollipops, the Fat Fury is helpless, but for the aid of a mouse he helped early in the story.

Herbie
Herbie Popnecker; Fat Fury; Pincus Popnecker; Mrs. Popnecker
What this country needs is a five-cent cigar and a ten-cent hero.
The giant Mr. Horrible is a one-man crime wave, leaving Senator Goldwater and President Johnson at wits' end. To help out, Herbie enrolls in a superhero school to become a licensed costume hero. Herbie did not graduate, and when his father threatened to become a costume hero, Herbie created the Fat Fury. Not a licensed, graduate hero, but he'd do. He wore red flannel underwear, a blue cape, a blue mask and a plunger on his head. The Fat Fury rescues the Statue of Liberty and defeats Mr. Horrible.
