Couple of things re Captain Tootsie.
The strip was apparently created by CC Beck and Pete Costanza and later by Bill Schreider. It ran as a newspaper strip from 1943 into the 50's, dailys and Sundays, so there must be quite a few strips out there somewhere. Someone can tell me if some are on the site. Thank you. In the two books many of the faces are obviously Beck's but not all the art. Some may be Costanza. They were obviously trying for a Captain Marvel feel.
My second point. There is no doubt in my mind that Alan Moore referenced Captain Tootsie in creating Tom Strong. Strong was something of a homage to that type of Golden Age character and his costume (particularly in issue two) is too close to be a coincidence. Moore has and uses an encyclopedic knowledge of comic characters. 'Top Ten' and 'Extraordinary Gentlemen' can keep you going for hours (try days) trying to work out who all the characters are and where they come from.
