The Pink Eyebrow - is he friend or foe? It's a tough call, because judging entirely by his sole appearance in the pages of little-remembered comedy anthology All-Funny Comics No.16 (Mar-Apr 1947), he's a little bit of both.
Appearing as an antagonist in the pages of "Penniless Palmer," a feature about a trio of well-meaning and rarely-paid troubleshooters (Besides Penniless, the other members of his troupe include Omnivorous Oxie and Beauteous Bunny), the Pink Eyebrow leads two lives.
So you buy and sell people but somehow HE'S the bad guy, huh? |
On the other hand, in the meganta-bedecked flesh, the Pink Eyebrow and his pals harass our heroes and the imperiled publisher Tragic. While their Vigilante proves less-than-adept with a lariat and their Superman gets his clock punched by taking a heavy book to the back of the head, the Pink Eyebrow is in full swing with his superpowers - he blasts his enemies with burning tears and fastens their mitts with fake eyelash handcuffs (eyecuffs, maybe?).
The whole thing is a scheme of rival publisher Mr.Taymer to force Tragic to sell the popular Pink Eyebrow to Taymer Comics, but Penniless Palmer and his pals put an end to those shenanigans. The Eyebrow hasn't been seen since, and you'd know if he had because he;s kind of hard to miss in that outfit.

"The Pink Eyebrow" sounds like an old-timey frat hazing involving a cigarette lighter.
