A classic for Beyond Big Two Week: Herbie Popnecker, also known as The Fat Fury, one of Alan Moore's favorurite characters, and the greatest superhero ever!

In the absurd, bizarre, unpredictable series created by Shane O'Shea and Ogden Whitney, Herbie is a withdrawn boy nicknamed 'little fat nothing' by his father because he doesn't seem to do anything save eat his lollipops.
