Mister Foxx
Context
During the 1970s, confectioner and cakes maker Hostess advertised in major comic books. The advertisements were full-page comics starring Marvel and DC Comics characters (and Hostess products).
These comics were nonsensical and a parody of the most absurd aspects of Silver Age comics. They’re still fondly remembered for their goofiness.

Commissioner Gordon laments to Batman that six chefs have been kidnapped. Despite the fact that five ransoms have been paid, the chefs are nowhere to be found. Batman decides to deliver the sixth ransom in person.
Meanwhile, Mr. Foxx, unmoved by the chefs’ pleas to be freed, heads out to pick up the latest ransom. He opens the briefcase, and finds it full of Hostess™ Cupcakes instead of money.
