Hawkshaw the Detective
Hawkshaw the Detective was a comic strip character featured in an eponymous cartoon serial by Gus Mager between 1913 and 1922, and again from 1931 to 1952. The name of Mager's character was derived from the common American slang of the time, in which a hawkshaw meant a detective — that slang itself derived from playwright Tom Taylor's use of the name for the detective in his 1863 stage play The Ticket of Leave Man.
