Colonel Corn and Korny Kobb-Reuben Littman (?)-1946

This nonsense is believed to be the work of one Reuben "Rudi" Littman, profiled in the newspaper article below. When Fawcett was winding down a few years later, Littman applied for copyright on these characters, possibly with the intent to use them in a newspaper strip. He ended up in advertising, though.
