History:
(Comedy Comics I#27/1 (fb) - BTS) - The super-powered
adventurer known as Super Squirt had his own comic magazine, but it was
easily outsold by Super Rabbit's, much to the anger of the editor of
the Super Squirt comic.
(Comedy Comics I#27/1) - The editor Mr. Squigg
angrily called in Super Squirt; apparently already in the same
building; Super Squirt walked through the brick wall into Squigg's
office where the editor berated him. A little annoyed at the bullying,
Super Squirt was sent out to investigate by speaking to children comic
readers and he shattered a window to fly out. By chance, Super Squirt
first met shoe shiner Waffles (secretly Super Rabbit). Super Squirt
didn't believe Waffles' love of classical literature and asked about
Super Rabbit. Suspicious, Waffles towel shined up the super-powered
thigh; frustrated, Super Squirt wandered off. Waffles changed into
Super Rabbit and met Super Squirt; despite Super Rabbit having his name
across his chest, Super Squirt didn't recognize him. A crying child
passed by, upset that Super Rabbit comics had sold out and only smelly Super Squirt
comic magazines were available. Super Squirt threatened the little lad
and Super Rabbit intervened. Seeing his foe now, Super Squirt hit his
opponent in the head so hard that Super Rabbit crashed through the
ground, hit oil and rode the giant spout up. Not believing Super Rabbit
could recover from his punch, Super Squirt turned away, but the heroic
rabbit swooped down and walloped him into a lamppost. Super Rabbit
explained to the dazed Super Squirt that he should be kind to children,
stop bullying them and halt his grandiose shows of strength. Super
Rabbit then kicked Super Squirt far off toward the horizon.
Comments: Creators not credited.
In order to misdirect Super Squirt from his comic-reading choices, Waffles said he preferred reading Patsy Walker in Miss America Comics.
Super Squirt could easily be seen as a dig at DC Comics' Superman (or DC's similarly powered Captain Marvel, which outsold Superman around that time), but the odd cap and no chest logo makes it confusing (if it is satire). While I can't find distribution numbers, it somehow seems unlikely that Super Rabbit would outsell Superman, given Superman's enduring recognizability and number of appearances.
If Super Squirt is a parody of Superman, does that
make him a naturally powered extraterrestrial? Or is he a local with
powers derived as a mutant or mutate? It's all unrevealed, so let's
just
enjoy the story.

CLARIFICATIONS
:
Super Squirt has no known connections to:
Mr. Squigg appeared to be the editor of the Super Squirt
magazine. He was frustrated that the magazine still wasn't selling as
much as Super Rabbit's, despite having the industry's top writers and
artists working on his mag, and he threatened to sack the talent. He
demanded that spies find what made Super Rabbit
magazines so popular, then he called for Super Squirt himself, who
smashed through a wall to go inside. The enraged Squigg snarled he
would fire Super Squirt, but broke his finger jabbing at Super Squirt's
chest like a bully. Partly annoyed with "Squiggy", Super Squirt
shattered the upper story window to investigate Super Rabbit's
popularity.
