I had to Google to see what this was about. Humphrey Pennyworth was Joe Palooka's sparring partner in the comics.

SOUTH BEND—More than 2,000 youngsters greeted Humphrey Pennyworth, "Joe Palooka's" pal when he visited South Bend, Ind., under the auspices of the South Bend Tribune. Pennyworth, who is on a good-will tour sponsored by Lions International, came to town riding his Humphreymobile and dressed exactly like cartoonist Ham Fisher's famous character.
Pennyworth had no formal program. After his public appearance at one of the city's parks he visited two crippled children's homes and the children's tuberculosis hospital.

Pennyworth is in real life Howard Hector, 26, of Cortland, Ohio.
