What's the story behind that hot fudge Sunday story on the Redskull book?

 

While considering ideas for an appropriate archenemy for Captain America, writer Joe Simon saw a hot fudge sundae melting and noticed it resembled a human figure. Inspired, Simon at first considered calling his new villain "Hot Fudge". However, as the cherry on top of the sundae seemed like an exposed skull, he finally decided on "Red Skull" as a more appropriate moniker.

 

The following was taken directly from Joe Simon's autobiography book:

 

Now we needed a villain for inside the comic, too. ... Even sitting at lunch, I was always thinking about heroes and villains, with all sorts of ideas swimming around in my head. Next thing I know, I had a hot fudge sundae sitting in front of me, with the vanilla ice cream, and the hot fudge is running down the side. It was intriguing.

The hot fudge looked like limbs—legs, feet, and hands—and I'm thinking to myself.

 

Gee, this'd make an interesting villain, I mused. We'll call him Hot Fudge ... Just put a face on him, and have him ooze all over the place.

 

You have to be stupid to be in this business. Nevertheless, I did some sketches, right then and there. And I Iooked at them.

 

Nah, I thought. Who would believe anything like that?

 

But I looked again at the sundae, and I saw the big cherry on top. The cherry looked like a skull.

 

"Wow," I said to myself. "Red Skull ... that sounds good." And it made a lot more sense.
