Ger Apeldoorn shares some HAWKSHAW THE DETECTIVE Sunday strips of the 1920s. It started out as SHERLOCKO, and the supporting cast also had names with "O" at the end. There was even a "Groucho." As Ger points out:
"I guess this is the strip that influenced the Marx Brothers to take fictitious names ending in -o, like Groucho, Harpo, Chico and such."
According to Ron Goulart's THE FUNNIES (1987), the strip was so popular that Groucho Marx did indeed take his stage name from the strip
