Fantastic Four Roast was a comic I had since childhood and I re-read that one more than any other that I can think of.

My favorite FF story is Hembeck’s roast–from the setup to the finish–I laughed my head off.

Hembeck’s a bit hit or miss with me.

and the DD page is one of the funniest comics pages of all time

Nah, not even close.

Not even one of his best.

Out of the blue, a few days back, I started thinking about his “I Remember Soupy” comic. Try explaining Soupy Sales to the youngsters.

One of the greatest things Hembeck did was the three panel gag strip on DC’s Daily Planet house ad page in the 1970s. You can see some of them here (along with essays on various DC characters by Neil Polowin, which are pretty good too!):

My favourite as a kid was found here:

(I’m referring to the second one– I don’t know why but as an 8 year old I found it riotously funny).

I loved Fred Hembeck’s Petey stories. I wish he’d do more of them.
