He stood just 5'6\", weighed around 190 pounds, and was built like a loaf of bread sideways and I\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e've always found him absolutely fascinating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     Looking at photographs of Hack, I couldn't help thinking that he looked like somebody Chester Gould might have invented for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.nerdist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/12182526\/Dick-Tracy-Villains.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDick Tracy's Rouge's Gallery\u003c\/a\u003e. So I started studying those early comics, particularly the way Gould constructed his characters, his incredibly thick percussive line style and decided to give Hack a comic book of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     Of course, Hack didn't need much exaggeration. The man was practically a cartoon character already. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     And what a ballplayer, holy smokes!  In 1930 he hit 56 homers and drove in 191 runs for the Chicago Cubs. Nearly a century later, that RBI record STILL stands. That's also the reason this imaginary comic is numbered 191. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sabr.org\/journal\/article\/hack-wilsons-191st-rbi-a-persistent-itch-finally-scratched\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e(And speaking of 191 here's a FASCINATING article that was shared with me on how that record went from being 190 for years, and officially changed to 191 decades later). \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pop Fly Pop Shop","offers":[{"title":"Regular","offer_id":68274668372099,"sku":"REG_HACK","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/6450\/5260\/files\/HackWilsonWEBcopy.jpg?v=1794176957","url":"https:\/\/popflypopshop.com\/products\/264-hack-attack-7-x-10-5","provider":"Pop Fly Pop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
