Stroker McGurk is a cartoon character created by Tom Medley, featured in Hot Rod and Rod & Custom.
Medley's famed creation debuted in the third issue of Hot Rod,[1] and continued in the magazine until 1955.
He would reappear briefly in 1964 and 1965,[2] and occasionally in Rod & Custom in the 1980s.
Stroker (as he was always known) drove a trademark 1929 Ford roadster[3] in most of his appearances, but also innovated a number of things later copied by real-life racers, including multiple-engine dragsters, traction bars, and parachutes.
